The distance from the edge of the roof to the near
corner of any foot should be at least 12" on both sides
of the dish to ensure proper installation.
6. Place the unit on the roof in its permanent location
and mark around each base foot, Figure 3. Set the unit
aside for later.

7. Clean roof area where the base feet will be attached
to the roof. Do not erase your marks!
8. Put approved sealant in the areas marked for the
base feet. Place base feet on top of the sealant and
screw down with the (3) #10 screws for each foot.
9. After all base feet are secured to roof, put sealant
around edge of feet and over screws.

Decide the best location for the power and coax cables
to enter the vehicle, and the location of the power
switch and receiver. Drill a 3/4" hole in the roof, push
wires inside.
2. Connect the primary receiver to the "MAIN" Port on
the base, Figure 4.
3. For a two receiver installation, connect a second
coax cable (not provided) to the secondary port on
base marked "SEC" and run cable along roof to
second receiver location.
4. Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw
in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved
sealant (not included).
5. Depending on the length of the cable on the roof,
you may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not
provided) between the unit and your cable-entry plate.
Clamping the cable every 12"-16" should eliminate any
unnecessary cable movement, Figure 6.
