Notes:
Connect an earth strap to the base of the antenna
Grind away any paint or coating at the earthing point on the chassis to
expose the bare metal
Apply electrical contact grease to prevent rust and corrosion and maintain
the integrity of the earth connection
Attach the earth strap lug securely with an appropriate fastener.
IMPORTANT: If the antenna is mounted in a high position on the rear door of a
vehicle, multiple earth straps must be used to reach the vehicle chassis’ earthing
point. Earth conductivity from the antenna to the chassis must be maintained for
correct operation of the antenna.
