Antenna Magnetic Mounting
Three magnetic mounts (part number 1502819-0003) are optional for the antenna
installation. These mounts will withstand 100 mph wind force when properly installed
on a flat metal surface such as a vehicle’s roof.
The magnet mount consists of three individual high-intensity magnets with rubber
coating. Each magnet has a stainless steel center bolt.
First attach the magnets to the antenna. There are three “legs” on the antenna where
the magnets are placed. Note the position of the two rubber washers just below and
above each antenna “leg,” the stainless steel washer above the upper rubber washer,
and the protective nut on top.
Now place the antenna with magnets on the roof of the car. When installing the
antenna cable it is important to protect against moisture by using self-amalgamating
tape, or similar, wrapped around the coaxial connector. Secure the RF cable at short
intervals to prevent movement and stress.
Note 1: Removing the Antenna - use your hand to pry underneath the antenna near
one of the magnets and lift.
