CABLE-
ENTRY
CABLE
1. Decide the best location for the cables to enter the
vehicle, and the location of the switch and receiver
(see “Installing the switch and receiver” below.) Drill
a 1/2” hole in the roof, push wires inside. Make
proper connections (remember you must have fil-
tered +12 VDC power source).
2. Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw
in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved
sealant (not included).
3. Depending on the length of the cable on the roof,
you may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not
provided) between the
unit and your cable-
entry plate. Clamping
the cable every 12”-16”
should eliminate any
unnecessary cable movement, Figure 7.

Installing the switch —
1. Decide the location of the power on/off switch. The
+ 12 VDC power cable connects to this switch and
then to a filtered +12 VDC power source. Be sure
the switch is turned off before you begin! Figure 8.
Wall or panel mount: Drill 1-1/4” hole, pull wires
through wall or panel.
Surface mount: Determine location and direction of
box. Mount box feed wire into one of the box openings.
Select plate cover (brown or white provided) and snap
the rocker switch into the switch plate. Be sure switch is
turned off!
a. Connect ground wires together using large
yellow spade connector - black ground wire from
MV unit and ground wire from vehicle.
b. Connect yellow spade connector to silver spade
on switch.
c. Connect red wire from unit to small red spade connector.
d. Connect red spade connector to center spade on
switch.
e. Connect +12 VDC wire from vehicle
to small red spade connector.
f. Connect red spade connector to isolated spade on
switch.
Cable entry installation —
1. Connnect the coax cable from the roof to the “Sat-
ellite In” connection on the receiver.

Satellite Receiver
SAT IN
(A dual receiver upgrade kit is available for this
model, MV-6000. Contact Winegard Company for
more information.)
Initializing & replacing the dome —
1. Be sure vehicle is in a location free of all obstruc-
tions and with a clear view of the satellite.
2. DO NOT MOVE VEHICLE during the first initial-
ization. Power up unit, turn on receiver. FOR THE
FIRST TIME ONLY, the unit may take up to 10 min-
utes to initially find the satellite signal. The GPS is
also initializing at this time. After the GPS initializes,
the unit will begin searching for the correct satellite.
3. If the GPS does not initialize at this time, turn off
the unit. You may need to move the GPS antenna to a
different location on your roof. After you move the
GPS, DO NOT SECURE TO ROOF.
4. TEST YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE SECURING
THE GPS ANTENNA. Make sure the TV/receiver
has found the correct satellite.
5. After the correct satellite has been found, secure
GPS antenna by removing adhesive backing and se-
curing to roof.
