7 ROOF INSTALLATION
1. Make sure you have the following tools and materials before starting.
ANTENNA UNIT LOCATION (See Illustration on next page)
2. Select an area on the roof for the antenna unit and the location where the wiring will enter the
vehicle through the roof to the satellite receiver inside using the following criteria:
• A shorter distance between the antenna unit and the satellite receiver is most desirable.
• Make sure you have enough room to mount the antenna unit.
• The antenna unit should be mounted on the center line of the vehicle, and not tilted more
than 2 degrees in any direction.
• There must be no “line of sight” obstructions. Air conditioning units, other antennas, and
storage areas that are too close to the antenna unit may prevent the satellite signal from
reaching the antenna unit.
• Mount the antenna unit with the handle to rear of the vehicle.
NOTE: Many RVs are prewired with RG-6 coax cable for satellite antennas. Contact the manufacturer of your RV or
your local RV dealer to verify where this cable is located.
If prewired, run the existing coax cable from the prewire location in the roof to the antenna unit. When
choosing the antenna unit location, make sure the prewiring will reach the antenna unit.
If you wish to semipermanently mount the antenna unit (allowing you to remove it for use as a portable) you can mount
it with the MB600 removable feet or the MB700 Quick Release Roof-Mount Kit (see page 13).
