Mount the FEA vertically on the front windshield at the edge of the glass, on the same side as the vehicle’s antenna (i.e. nearest to the antenna). See Figure 32. Clean the suction cup mounting areas with the alcohol swab. The FEA wire between the two suction cups should be pulled taut, and as straight as possible, and should not obstruct the driver’s view.

Caution: In some states it may not be legal to put the FEA on the windshield glass. In this case, the FEA should be mounted on the A-Pillar adjacent to the vehicle’s FM antenna.
