MOUNTING THE ANTENNA

Before you mount the antenna, move your vehicle to a shaded location where
the temperature is between 70 and 100 (degrees) F.  If the vehicle's glass
is too hot or too cold, the antenna's adhesive might not properly set.

1.  Select a location for the antenna.  Typical mounting locations are the
    top center of the front or rear windows.  Be sure the location you
    select: 

    Does not block the driver's view 

    Does not interfere with windshield wiper operation 

    Is not coated with a metal film-type sunscreen 

    Is not on a defroster element 

    Important:  Do not remove the paper backing from the coupler box or 
                antenna base until Step 4.  Once you stick the coupler box 
                or antenna base to the glass, you cannot remove it without 
                damaging it. 

2.  Position both the antenna and the coupler box at the desired locations 
    to confirm that neither will interfere with your vehicle's normal 
    operation. 

    NOTE:  Position the coupler box with the coax connector facing to 
           either side. 

3.  Use the supplied alcohol wipe to clean the glass at the mounting 
    locations.  Allow the glass to dry completely before continuing. 

4.  Remove the paper backing from the coupler box and carefully position 
    it over the mounting location.  Then firmly press it into place and 
    hold it for 5 seconds. 

5.  Remove the paper backing from the antenna base and carefully 
    position it over the coupler box.  Then firmly press it into place and 
    hold it for 5 seconds. 

6.  For 70 cm operation, clip the radial over the coupler - box's 
    connector. 

    Make sure the redial is parallel to, and at least 1/2 inch from, the 
    edge of the glass. 

7.  Screw the supplied cable's connector onto the coupler box. 

8.  Route the cable to your transceiver and connect it according to the 
    transceiver's instructions. 

9.  Loosen the antenna base's hex bolt with the supplied allen wrench, and 
    position the antenna so it is straight up and down to tighten the hex 
    bolt. 

TUNING THE ANTENNA

For the best performance, tune the antenna using an SWR meter.  Follow the 
SWR meter's instructions to connect it to your transceiver and the antenna 
cable.  To adjust the SWR, turn the tuning capacitor in the coupler box 
using the supplied plastic tuning tool. 

NOTE:  A very small change in the tuning capacitor's setting can make a 
       big difference in SWR.  Tune the antenna in very small increments.
