CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
To clean the antenna, use mild dish washing liquid (one that is not
harsh to the hands and without ammonia) in lukewarm water.
WARNING: Do not let paint solvents, cleaning solvents or adhesive
caulking come in contact with the antenna. Chemi cals in these
materials might destroy the finish.
IMPORTANT! Please read all instructions before installing.
TECH TIP: This antenna will
read “short circuit” when tested

tester.
For installations where the
