If installing the antenna so that the cable enters the vehicle directly
beneath the antenna, follow the steps below for Mounting Option 1.
Make sure the ceiling area is clear underneath
the chosen location for the antenna.
Run coaxial cable from the chosen location for
the power supply to the chosen location for
the antenna.
Run the cable upward through the circular
gasket and pedestal.
Connect the coaxial cable running
through the gasket and pedestal to
the coaxial cable running from the
antenna head.
Place the circular gasket in the
chosen location for the antenna,
and trace around the inner and
outer edges of the gasket.
Check with the vehicle
manufacturer for approved sealant
for the vehicle.
Then, apply a liberal amount of sealant between the inner and outer
traced circles.
Replace the circular gasket where the sealant has been applied.
Plug the slot in the pedestal with the
provided rectangular gasket.
Before using the supplied screws,
check with the vehicle manufacturer
for any screw requirements.
Then, align the holes in the circular
gasket and pedestal. Mount the
assembly to the roof with four
screws, and tighten the four screws.
Run a solid bead of sealant where the edge of the pedestal and gasket
assembly meets the roof and over the screw heads.
Gently push the cable slack downward through the pedestal.
Twist the antenna head back and forth while pushing it onto the pedestal.
The pedestal should engage with the snap ring inside the antenna head.
While applying pressure, rotate the
head until feeling the grooves in
the head line up with the grooves
in the pedestal.
Push down again; you should hear
the head click into place.
Warning: Once the head and pedestal
are connected, the head cannot be
removed without incurring damage.
Check that the scribe line on the
pedestal is no longer visible. If the
scribe line is still visible, the head is
not fully seated on the pedestal.
Pull the antenna head upward. If
the head is unable to slide upward
on the pedestal, the head is fully
seated on the pedestal. If the head
slides upward, the head is not fully
seated on the pedestal.
If the antenna head is not fully
seated on the pedestal, repeat the
steps on this page to connect the
antenna head to the pedestal.
Do not proceed until the head is fully seated on the pedestal.
Once the head is fully seated on the pedestal, continue with “Installing the
Power Supply” on page 7. If the power supply is already installed, make
sure to run a channel scan after installing the antenna. See page 8 for
more information.
