5.5 Preparation for Shipment
If you need to repack the antenna unit for shipment, you must
first secure the LNB. Follow the steps below to repack the
antenna unit.
1. Remove the radome.
2. Rotate the antenna unit so that the LNB is facing
forward (away from the connector plate) (see
Figure 5-7).
3. Using a tie-wrap, secure the LNB bracket to the
baseplate, as shown in Figures 5-7 and 5-8.
4. Replace the radome.
5. Place the entire antenna unit into its shipping box
using the original packing material.
6. Secure the box to a pallet to ensure upright
transport to KVH.
