elbow! Guide the receiver-side end of the cable through the hole. Any cable that is

possibly remaining must be placed inside the vehicle.
c) Clean the elbow and the area around the hole and fix the elbow with glue, similar to

the fitting of the mounting plate. Apply some extra glue into the hole to prevent water

from coming in at any later time.
d) Finally, fix the elbow with the screws supplied. Again, apply some glue onto any screw

before fixing it. Make sure that the length of cable on the roof is sufficient to do proper

cable work.This is your last chance to do so.
g)  Now  double  check  that  the  AutoSkew  is  in  a  proper  position  with  the  LNB-arm

pointing to the back of the vehicle, that the cables are plugged into the TopBox and that

the cable work on the roof is nice and clean. If all is perfect you can fix the TopBox with

the 4 nuts and you can tighten the plastic ring on the aluminium elbow. The ring has

a size of 27mm, but can easily be tightened by hand.
Ensure  that  all  work  you  have  done  is  nice  and  clean  and that  the  roof  is  fully

waterproof.

6. Cable work inside the vehicle

a) Guide the cable coming through the roof to the receiver. Any remaining cable

must not be cut but should be wound neatly and stored close to the receiver.
c) Connect the SCART or the coax cable to the receiver and interconnect it to your

display. Take care to fix the cables to prevent the connectors from falling out at a

later time when the vehicle is travelling.
d) Connect the 3-pin power connector to the receiver. Make sure that the receiver’s

main switch is in OFF or “0” position. You have to extend the 3 short pieces of wire to

connect it to the matching terminals inside the vehicle. Refer to page 9 for the power 

interconnection.
e) Connect the 8-pin RJ45 connector coming from the satmouse.Place the mouse

onto an acceptable position and guide the cable properly to the mouse position. Any

remainder of cable should  be wound neatly and stored close to  the receiver.This

cable is about 1.5m long. If this is not sufficient for the intended sat-mouse position

you can obtain any 8-pin “ISDN type” telephone extension cable at a maximum of 5

metres to extend this cable.

7. Power supply

Always make sure that there is enough power to the AutoSkew to avoid trouble. As

with any other computer device, the OysterAutoSkew receiver is somewhat sensitive

to a weak power supply.
a) The AutoSkew requires a 12V or a 24V DC power supply. We recommend a 12V

supply.  Any  voltages  above  30V  or  any  AC  voltages  will  destroy  the  receiver

absolutely. This will NOT be covered by warranty.
