2. SAFETY
2.1 Installation Safety:
Winegard highly recommends the Winegard HD Satellite Interface System be installed by a
professional installer, as RV roof top work may be required, as well as some electrical
wiring.
Do not install the roof top portion of this system in the rain. Before drilling any holes for
installation, make sure there are no obstructions, such as wiring, etc. To protect against
water damage, seal any roof top holes with approved sealant.
Read the entire manual before attempting to install the system. Follow the instructions
carefully.
Use all appropriate safety equipment.

Select a Location to Install the Satellite Interface
For best results, the Winegard Satellite Interface should be installed near the primary
receiver in your RV. Be sure an AC power source is available.
This manual assumes that a Winegard Satellite System is already fully installed on the
RV roof top. If a system has not yet been installed, please refer to the installation manual
included with the satellite system for installation instructions. Use the power/data cable
included with this kit for satellite antenna installation.
Plan your entire installa-
tion before you start. Determine
the location of all of your equip-
ment and make sure cable and
wires are long enough to reach
their termination points.
Winegard is not li-
able for damage, expenses,
or injury caused by
improper installation.
If you are installing a
new Satellite Antenna with
the HD Satellite System, use
the cables supplied with this
kit for antenna installation.
