.98m, 1.2m, or 1.8m two-way antenna. Use the appropriate
antenna installation manual to assemble and install the antenna
assembly. Label the receive and transmit cables at both the
exterior point-of-entry and the indoor location where the remote
terminal will be installed by wrapping a small piece of red
electrical tape around the receive cable and writing
SAT IN on the
tape, then wrapping a small piece of blue electrical tape around
the transmit cable and writing
SAT OUT on the tape.

Skip to Connecting the receive and transmit cables to the remote
terminal on page 19 if the unit will not be attached to a pedestal
