4.7.2 Adhesive Mount
The remote antenna may also be mounted using adhesive or a high strength outdoor grade
silicone when mounting holes are not an option in the mounting surface.
Refer to the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations for application temperature,
application conditions, compatible bonding materials, and minimum curing times when
working with an adhesive. Failure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines could result in
the remote antenna separating from the mounting surface.
CAUTION Adhesive or silicone cannot block the
air vent features shown
in Figure 37.
