SAFETY FIRST!
1
BE CAREFUL working on your satellite antenna. WATCH
FOR POWER LINES. Caution is the first rule as tools,
ladders and even the dish can conduct electricity if they
come in contact with power lines, this can be FATAL. A fall
from the roof or off of a ladder can be just as dangerous,
therefore; you MUST be aware of dangerous conditions
like wind, wet surfaces, snow and ice. If you are not
competent or comfortable working with tools at the heights
necessary to reach your dish, refer this installation to a
professional installer.

Your Antenna Should Look Like This
This HotShot was designed originally for the SlimLine
antenna in USA markets but can be used on other dishes of
a similar size. The pre-cut holes in the heater blanket allow
for attachment to the back of the metal SlimLine reflector.
However, if you have a similar looking plastic reflector, or if
the pre-cut hole patterns do not align properly with your
antenna, the HotShot should be attached to the face of the
antenna.
A Note About Reflector Removal
5
Satellite antennas are directionally sensitive and the satellite
alignment procedure is very specific. For this reason, if you
prefer that the HotShot be attached to the BACK of the
antenna, we suggest you enlist the aid of a professional
installer who can realign the antenna after they remove and
reinstall the reflector. - The heater can be attached to the face
of the antenna but you must be careful during the cleaning
and attachment to avoid moving or realigning the antenna.

Remove the paper backing sheet
from the CENTER of the HotShot
heater. This will expose the heating
coils and the adhesive surface in the
middle of the heater.
Do Not remove any other protective sheets until you have
aligned and attached the heater to your dish.

no factor thereafter.
A note on Roof Mounted antennas:
Do not attempt to climb ladders or walk on your roof if freezing
or wet conditions exist. Wait until it is safe to work on your
antenna.
Visual Orientation of the HotShot

If you intend to attach the heater to the back of your
antenna, the pre-cut holes must align properly. Visually
check the bolt alignment of your antenna to confirm the fit.
If your mount bolts do NOT align with the pre-cut holes,
attach the HotShot to the face of your reflector.
