The Blaupunkt Funline A-R G 01-E is an active on-glass antenna designed for AM/FM radio reception. Key installation requirements include ensuring the windshield is not metallic-coated (heat-protection glass) and that the ambient temperature is between +15°C and +30°C during installation. The antenna features an integrated amplifier with switchable illumination to indicate operation.
Safety Notes
- Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle battery before starting installation.
- Observe vehicle manufacturer safety instructions regarding airbags, alarm systems, and trip computers.
- When drilling, ensure no vehicle components like batteries, cables, or fuse boxes are damaged.
- Use cable grommets for any holes with sharp edges.
- Lay antenna cables at a sufficient distance from other cable harnesses to prevent interference.
Scope of Delivery
The package includes the antenna unit with cable, mounting hardware (screws, washers, clips), and adhesive components for installation.
Installation
Mounting Position
The antenna is designed for windshield mounting. Ensure the chosen position is not on metallic-coated heat-protection glass, as this will block reception. Refer to the diagrams for the recommended placement (Position A or B).
Preparation
Ensure the mounting surface is clean and the ambient temperature is between +15°C and +30°C. Clean the glass thoroughly before applying the adhesive components.
Mounting Steps
- Prepare the mounting surface by cleaning it.
- Apply the adhesive components according to the provided diagrams.
- Route the antenna cable carefully, ensuring it is kept away from other wiring harnesses.
- Connect the antenna cable to the radio unit.
- Connect the power supply (+12V) for the active amplifier.
- Secure the antenna unit firmly. Note: Once the adhesive pad makes contact, it cannot be repositioned.
