Caution
• The film antenna (F) is exclusively for use inside the vehicle.
• Do not install at the following locations:
– where it may block the driver's view.
– where it may obstruct the operation of safety devices such as air
bags.
– on movable glass surfaces such as the rear hatch.
– at side of vehicle (e.g. door, front quarter window).
– on rear window.
• Signal strength will weaken when installed at the following
locations:
– on IR reflecting glass or locations covered with mirror type glass
film.
– where it overlaps with genuine radio antenna (pattern).
– where it overlaps with window heating wires.
– on glass that blocks radio signals (e.g. IR reflecting glass, thermal
insulation glass).
• Poor reception may occur:
– due to noise when windscreen wiper, air conditioner, or motor is
turned on.
– depending on the direction of the broadcast station with respect
to the vehicle (antenna).
• Thoroughly wipe oil and dirt from the pasting surface with the
supplied cleaner (I).
• Do not bend or damage the film antenna (F).

Determine the antenna installation position
• The direction of the film antenna (F) changes depending on whether the film antenna (F) is installed on the
right side or left side.
• Be sure to check the installation location of film antenna (F) before installing. Film antenna cannot be re-pasted.
• Separate from other antennas by at least 100 mm.
• Do not paste the amplifier unit (G) on the ceramic line (black part) around the front glass. Because there is not
enough adhesion.
