IN VEHICLE INSTALLATION (CONTD.)
Please follow the instructions below for first-time installation of the Digital DAB Radio.
1. Installing the Active Antenna
Correct installation of the active antenna is crucial for good DAB radio reception. The
antenna should not obstruct the drivers view. It should be installed on the passenger
side of the vehicle, as shown below.
Once a suitable location has been found for the Antenna, the first step is to install
the magnetic ground.
The Magnetic ground must be affixed to a ferrous object, i.e. the vehicles body.
Typically this is achieved by sliding the magnetic ground under the roof lining of the
vehicle. In most cases you will hear an audible click when the magnet has locates
itself.
If you lightly pull you will be able to feel that the magnet is securely attached. Once the
magnetic ground is located, connect the spade connector to the antenna.
Using the supplied screen wipes, clean the area of the windscreen which the Antenna
will be adhered to, thus making sure the windscreen is clean and free of dirt and/or
grease.
Remove the adhesive backing from the Antenna film and affix it 2.5cm from the A-pillar,
as shown below.
