Mounting The Antenna Unit - KVH Industries LF Owner's Manual

2.2

Mounting the Antenna Unit

1. Make sure that you have chosen a suitable
mounting location based upon the guidelines in
Section 2.1, "Choosing the Best Location."
2. Remove the antenna unit from its shipping carton.
3. At the bottom of the antenna baseplate, cut the
tie-wrap and pull it out of the baseplate. Then seal
the two holes with the plugs provided in the
kitpack. The tie-wrap secures the antenna's LNB
for shipping (as shown in Figure 2-3). Once you
remove this shipping restraint, be sure to handle
the antenna unit with care to avoid damage.
4. Position the antenna unit in the desired location
on the centerline of the vehicle with the antenna's
forward mounting plate arrows facing the front of
the vehicle. The proper orientation is illustrated in
Figure 2-4.
