INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Determine the installation location of the antenna on the 

windshield or the rear window. Make sure that the mounting 

glass surface is clean and free of debris and any imbedded 

obstructions such as antenna wires, defroster wires, heavy 

tinting, etc.

Notes:

• The recommended location is behind the rearview mirror, above 

the mounting foot on the windshield. 

• Do not mount the antenna to the dashboard or the rear deck as 

the antenna may obstruct the view of the vehicle driver.

• For optimum performance, mount the antenna to the inside 

surface of the vehicle’s glass.

• The antenna should be mounted onto a sloping glass face at 

either the front or back window. The window glass face should 
NOT have a vertical slope.

• The antenna should be mounted away from any radio antennas 

embedded in the glass, otherwise the GNSS antenna may 
experience interference.

2. Test fit the antenna on the selected area prior to removing the 

release liner from the tape on the antenna’s mounting surface.

3. Clean surface area with a lint-free cloth using isopropyl alcohol 

to remove any residue grease or dirt buildup.

4. Remove the release liner and carefully position the antenna 

above the selected mounting area.

5. Place the antenna on the mounting surface and apply even 

pressure to allow the foam tape to conform to the windshield 
curvature. 50% of the bond strength is achieved after 20 
minutes. Avoid contact with the antenna for a minimum of 20 
minutes after initial installation. Full bond strength of the 
adhesive tape is realized after 72 hours.

The adhesive tape is very strong and will bond instantly 

on the mounting surface. Once the antenna is placed 

on the surface, it 

cannot

 be moved.
