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.
