ABOUT INSTALLATION

Installation of automotive stereo components can require extensive experience
with a variety of mechanical and electrical procedures.Although the instructions
in this guide explain how to install the Terk TRK-SR1 Glass-Mount Satellite Radio
Antenna in a general sense,they do not show the exact installation methods for
your particular vehicle.

IMPORTANT: If you are not comfortable performing a complex installation,
ask your local mobile audio dealer about professional installation options.

ABOUT TINTED WINDOWS

Installing the Terk TRK-SR1 Glass-Mount Satellite Radio Antenna on a vehicle
with certain types of tinted windows may result in loss of received XM satellite
signals. Blacked-out windows with metallic or mirrored finishes will interfere
and degrade XM satellite signals.

IMPORTANT: If your vehicle is equipped with windows that have a metallic
or mirrored finish,you will need to scrape off the finish in the installation
area before installing the TRK-SR1. If this is not possible, try moving the
antenna to an open area or use the Terk TRK-SR2 Roof-Mount Satellite
Radio Antenna instead.
