IMPORTANT! Do not install this system

1. For best performance and to reduce signal ac-
quisition time, park vehicle on a level surface;
level the RV.
2. Select a level spot on your roof for installation.
Using the chart,
determine the
minimum distances
to other equipment.
• The unit should be no more than +/-1° off level.
• Be sure no roof-mounted equipment is
blocking the satellite “line of sight”, Fig. 3
• You will need to decide where the wires will enter
the vehicle. A coax and a power wire (minimum 16
gauge) will need to be run into the vehicle. The
power wire will go to the nearest filtered +12 VDC
power source; the coax will be routed to your
satellite receiver.
3. Remove screws holding dome to base and re-
move dome. Place dome in safe spot to avoid
damage. Place base on vehicle roof in the loca-
tion selected.
REMEMBER:
REAR MOUNTING FOOT MUST BE PARALLEL
TO THE CENTER LINE OF VEHICLE.

ing. The switches for this model are preset for

foot, flange up. Place rubber washer, with the
rubber side up, on the nut, Figure 2. Push
mounting foot under base. Push foot screw
through the base and tighten lock nut to se-
cure foot to base. Be sure the base feet are
