Operating Instructions
Electronic Glass-Mount Aerial
Item No. 2521324
Intended use
The electronic glass-mounted aerial is used to receive and to amplify analogue and terrestrial radio signals.
This product may only be operated when it is connected to a 12V DC car power supply, with the negative
terminal of the car battery connected to the body. It may only be installed and operated in vehicles equipped
with this type of voltage supply.
Due to the type of installation, the user has to ensure that the antenna is protected against moisture and
damp.
For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use the product
for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In addition, improper use can
result in other hazards. Read the instructions carefully and store them in a safe place. Make this product
available to third parties only together with its operating instructions.

Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dangerous playing
material for children.
• Protect the appliance from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity,
moisture, flammable gases, steam and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it
from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can dam-
age the product.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the appliance.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician or an au-
thorised repair centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our
technical support service or other technical personnel.
• The device may only be used with a 12 V/DC vehicle power supply (with the negative terminal
of the battery connected to the body of the vehicle). Never connect the antenna to any other
voltage supply.
Mechanical Installation
Important
• Do not mount the antenna in the triggering area of airbags or in a fashion that it restricts the
visual range.
• Fasten the antenna as described so that it cannot loosen in the even of an accident and thus
become a danger to the passengers.
The aerial should be installed in the upper area of the windscreen or rear window.
In order to ensure a correct reception, keep the reception rods in a distance of approx. 6 cm from metal parts
such as vehicle body, etc.
• Coated vehicle windows may impair the reception.
• Clean the window in the mounting area. It must be dry, clean and free of grease.
• The gluing temperature should be at least 15°C to ensure a safe gluing.
• Remove the protective foil and glue the antenna so that cable exit points to the roof liner.
• After gluing the aerial should not be exposed to any mechanical strain for 24 hours.

Connection
Important
• To avoid shorts and any resulting damage to the aerial, the negative terminal (earth) of the car
battery has to be disconnected first.
• Before reconnecting the negative terminal to the battery, ensure that the aerial has been com-
pletely connected and the connection checked.
• Only use a volt meter, or a diode test lamp, to check the voltage of the vehicle system leads, as
normal test lamps consume excessive voltage and may thus damage the vehicle's electronics.
• When installing the cables, ensure that these are not squashed or scraped on sharp edges! Use
cable inserts for penetrations.
• Do not lay cables in the triggering area of air bags.
1. Connect the non-insulated flat conductor with a suitable earthing point on the car body.
Adhesive techniques, which have become ever more common, and painted metal parts may impair
the electric conductivity. Therefore, not every metal part is a suitable earthing point.
2. Connect the thin, black cable to the aerial control output of your car radio. The aerial then turns on
automatically when switching on your car radio.
Should your car radio not have such connection, connect this cable with the connector that carries +12V
while the ignition is switched on.
3. Connect the antenna plug of the antenna with the antenna input of your car radio.
Should your car radio have a different connection standard, use an adapter plug which can be acquired
in a specialist shop.
4. Once the antenna is supplied with power, the red operating mode display on the housing illuminates.
Care and cleaning
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as they can
cause damage to the housing and malfunctioning.
• Clean the product with a dry, fibre-free cloth.
