Do not clean the inside of the
rear window glass with a
cleaner or scraper to remove
foreign deposits as this may
cause damage to the antenna
elements.
Avoid adding metallic coat-
ings such as Ni, Cd, and so
on. These can degrade the
receiving AM and FM broad-
cast signals.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the rear
glass antenna, never use
sharp instruments or window
cleaner containing abrasives
to clean the window. Clean the
inside surface of the rear
glass window with a piece of
soft cloth.
When putting a sticker on the
inside surface of the rear win-
dow, be careful not to damage
to the rear glass antenna.
Do not put sharp instruments
nearby the rear glass antenna.
Tinted rear window may affect
the proper functioning of the
antenna.
