Caution With Magnet Mount Use
When using an Ampro antenna with a magnetic mount base your vehicle must be stationary and the antenna removed when driving. Attempting to lift or remove the magnet mount by pulling on the attached antenna can cause serious damage to the mount and/or antenna or reduce its lifespan. Always detach the antenna and lift the magnetic mount directly from its base to avoid damaging the antenna. Once the antenna is removed, then remove the magnetic base.
