Removing the Hatch and Radome

Follow these steps to remove the service hatch and
radome to access the antenna.
a. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the
eleven M4 screws securing the service hatch to
the baseplate
b. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the
eight #10-32 Phillips screws securing the
radome to the baseplate (see Figure 11).
Carefully lift the radome straight up until clear
of the antenna assembly and set it aside in a
safe place.
If you keep the radome topside, secure it with a
lanyard to prevent it from falling overboard.
Also, do not place the radome on a hot steel
deck – the heat may warp the radome.
IMPORTANT!
If necessary, use the two 0.5" (12.5 mm)
holes in the antenna frame (see Figure 12) to
hoist the antenna to its mounting location.
DO NOT use any other structure inside the
antenna — doing so might damage the
antenna.
