Glass Mount Antennas

Installation Instruction

NOTE: The following are pre-installation tips:

1. Try to avoid installation around defroster wires which are inside the glass.  If they are spaced one inch or more apart, center the antenna over one wire allowing it to pass between the horizontal coupling plates.

2. Do not mount the antenna on any heavily black-tinted area, or on an area where tinting film has been applied.

3. Do not install over an in-glass AM/FM dipole antenna.

4. Check to ensure that the auto glass to which you are installing the antenna is not "shattered" or "nicked". If so, do not install the Glassmount antenna.
   

Installation

1. The window glass should be neither too hot, nor too cold. Room temperature would be best for installation. Note: You may wish to heat the glass before installation by using a blow dryer. Be careful not to overheat the installation portion of the glass.

2. Plan your installation carefully! Once you mount the antenna, you will have great difficulty in moving it. Be sure that you know exactly where you want the antenna and how you want to route the coax BEFORE installation. The upper portion of the front or rear windows are the best locations for installation. These portions of glass are the flattest and will allow the antenna to perform at its peak. Ensure clearance from the wiper-blades and leave at least 1" to 1 1/2" space between the antenna and the glass frame.

3. Clean the portion of the glass where you have decided to place your antenna with the cleaning pad and glass cleaner. Let the area dry naturally.

4. Carefully place your inside base (with coax connector) over the cleaned portion of the INSIDE glass. Peel the protective liner from the tape and place the base to the glass with the coax connector pointing down. Press firmly and ensure that all of the tape surface is in contact with the glass.

5. Connect your coaxial cable to the inside base coax connector and route the coax to your phone. 

6. Place the OUTSIDE base directly opposite of the inside base. Ensure that the inside base cannot be seen when looking directly at the outside base, and that the base is pressed down firmly on all sides.

7. Position the swing-arm portion of the outside base to the vertical position and screw the whip tightly to the outside base. This completes the installation.
