Installation the Digital Radio
antenna (DNX9180DABS)
#
CAUTION
• This film antenna is exclusively for use inside the
vehicle.
• Do not install at the following locations:
Where it may block driver’s view
Where it may obstruct operation of safety devices
such as air bags
On movable glass surface such as rear hatch
On the side of the vehicle (e.g. doors, front-side
windows)
On rear windows
• Signal strength will decrease at the following
locations:
On IR reflecting glass or where covered with mirror
type glass film
Where it overlaps with genuine radio antenna
(pattern)
Where it overlaps with window heating wires
When glass that blocks radio signals (e.g. IR
reflecting glass, thermal insulation glass) is used
• Poor reception may occur:
Due to noise when the windshield wipers, air
conditioner, or motor is turned on
Depending on the location of the broadcast station
in relation to the vehicle (antenna)
• Thoroughly wipe oil and dirt from the pasting surface
with the included cleaner (accessory
~
).
• Do not bend or damage the film antenna (accessory
!
).
• It may not be possible to install on some type of
