The Winegard RangePro is designed to work with existing cellular signals, and cannot be
used as a standalone cellular hotspot. A cellular plan and device are required for operation.

Note: To avoid possible interference, mount the
antenna at least 15' away from the indoor booster
and allow at least 3' from other RF products (such
™
as satellites and over-the-air antennas).
STEP 3
MOUNT OUTSIDE ANTENNA ON ROOF
1. After selecting the outside antenna
position, drill the cable hole through the roof

2. Feed the small end of the cable through
the hole until only the connector and 1"
of coax remain outside the coach.
3. Remove the three screws and washers that
are attached to the outside antenna.
4. Place the antenna through the
hole on the top of the roof mount.
5. Align the two small holes located on the
bottom side of the antenna with the two
small holes on top of the roof mount. Next,
reattach the three screws and washers
through the roof mount and into the holes
on the base of the antenna.

The outside antenna must not be collocated or

Maximum height restriction is 31' 9" (10 meters)

We advise you first perform a "soft" installation
by routing the outside antenna cable through an
open window (step 4). After completing the "soft"
installation and verifying successful operation,
proceed with installing the external antenna.

in a 360-degree radius. For maximum performance,
mount the antenna at the highest possible location
outside the vehicle and in an upright position, but
also ensure this is a spot where you can drill a hole
for cable entry.
6. Position the roof mount over the
cable, threading the cable through
the mount's channel.
7. Secure the mount on the roof by
inserting and tightening the provided
screws into the four mounting
holes. Verify the provided screws
are approved with the vehicle
manufacturer before installing.
8. Connect the cable to the outside
antenna. Create a moisture barrier
by using manufacturer-approved
permanent sealant around all
screws and holes in the RV roof.
5. Drill a hole for cable entry on the side
of the vehicle, away from other cables
or pipes. Use a rubber gasket (sold
separately) to protect the cable and
your vehicle surface. Form a drip loop
before entry and create a moisture
barrier using a manufacturer-
approved permanent sealant.
