Step 1:
Install the On-Glass Antenna Bracket on the interior window surface over the antenna
element using the adhesive pad provided and the following steps. It may be mount-
ed either vertical or horizontal depending on the portion of the antenna element most
easily accessed. Select a bracket position that allows room to attach the Coupling Clip
and cleanly run cables without blocking the driver’s view. Install the on-glass antenna
Coupling Clip before routing the cable to avoid excess cable. See Figure 6.
a. Clean the mounting location on the glass for the On-Glass Antenna Bracket with
any household window cleaner that will remove grime. Be sure the surface is
completely dry before proceeding. You may need to use your vehicle’s air condi
-tioning and/or defogger to keep the cleaned surface dry during the installation for
the adhesive to set properly.
b. Remove the yellow liners from each of the four adhesive pads and press the
On-Glass Antenna Bracket firmly to the identified mounting location on the glass.
You can also view the alignment through the glass from outside the vehicle. You
will have only a limited amount of time to reposition the On-Glass Antenna Bracket
before the adhesive cures.
c. The On-Glass Antenna Bracket has alignment arrows on the side opposite the
adhesive pads. These arrows indicate the contact strip location on the base of the
bracket. Align the arrows with the on-glass antenna element to ensure direct con
-tact between the strip and the element. Press and hold the On-Glass Antenna
Bracket in place for 10 to 15 seconds.
d. Once the Bracket is in place, attach the Coupling Clip to the On-Glass Antenna
Bracket as shown in figure 6. Route any excess cable behind liners for a profes
-sional look.

ottee:: Be sure to leave enough slack on the cable so that the contact
strip does not pull away from the on-glass antenna.
