Critical Steps for Antenna Installation

^ Ambient temperature must be above 20°C (68° F). If not, tape and mating surface must be heated to at least 20°C (68° F).

^ Make sure technician hands, gloves, or anything that comes into contact with the feeder cover or mating surface is clean and free from contaminants.

^ Mating surface must be free of contaminants and cleaned with 50/50 isopropyl alcohol / water solution.

^ Apply adhesion promoter to the glass surface per the installation instructions.

^ Do not contaminate the tape surface or mating surface prior to installation.

^ Be aware the feeder cover will stick instantly to the prepared and primed surface and CANNOT be repositioned. Feeder cover alignment and positioning must be DONE prior to attachment.

^ Apply smooth and even pressure on the feeder cover to ensure 100% wet-out.

^ Keep the vehicle inside in a warm area (above 20°C or 68° F) for at least an hour after installation to help promote initial curing of the tape.

^ Advise the customer to avoid any activity which would impose pressure on the feeder cover (such as a car wash) within the first 48 hours.
