Automatic Antenna
The antenna switch can be actuated
with the radio switched on.
• If the antenna switch is engaged in
the “max” position, the antenna
extends fully.
Note:
For most conditions the antenna
should normally be in this position.
• If the antenna switch is in the cen­
ter position, the antenna extends
automatically to medium height,
• if the antenna switch is engaged
in the “off” position, the antenna
will not extend or will retract
completely.
The height of the antenna can be
adjusted to any intermediate posi­
tion by actuating the antenna
switch:
• If the antenna switch is in the
center position, the antenna will
extend to medium height. The
antenna can be further extended
or retracted to any height by
rocking the switch (not engaging
it).
• If the antenna is to be retracted,
e.g. going through car wash, etc.,
engage switch in “off” position.
When the key is turned to steering
lock position 0 or the radio is
turned off, the antenna will retract
completely.
