from the side of the windscreen to the vertical strip of the antenna film as shown.
2. Wipe the inside of the windscreen where the antenna is to be fitted.
3. If glass is cold, you may need to warm the glass to ensure good adhesion.
4. Ensure the glass surface is dry before mounting the antenna film. Remove the
adhesive backing and stick the lower horizontal section of the antenna film to
the windscreen. Be careful not to touch the sticky side of the antenna film.
5. Stick the antenna to the glass, gently applying pressure to remove any air bubbles.
6. Remove the adhesive backing from the amplifier block and stick this to the
metal of the A pillar. Note that you do not need to remove any paint for the earth
contact to work.
Important: Attach the Antenna's copper side to Car's frame (Ground), which ensure
the strong reception. Make sure you do not trap any leads as you go.
Do not attach the DAB antenna above heater wires, in a location which would
obstruct the view of the driver, or in a location that would receive interference from
metal. For your safety, do not run cables so that they interfere with operation of
the vehicle, or through a location that would interfere with the function of the
airbags.
