Follow the steps below to bypass the UHD7 

antenna’s DSWM by connecting its RF cables to 

the bypass bracket.

a.

Locate the DSWM inside the UHD7 antenna 

and identify the RF cables connected to it. 

Note that RF4 and RF5 are already connected 

to the DSWM bypass bracket (see 

Figure 4

).

NOTE: 

To avoid damage, avoid excessive twisting or 

sharp bends in the cables while tightening.

b.

Using a 7/16" open-end wrench, carefully 

disconnect each of the cables shown in 

Figure 5

 (RF2, RF1, 13V, and 18V), and 

connect them, one at a time, to the 

corresponding connectors on the DSWM 

bypass bracket.

c.

Tighten the connectors with a 7/16" torque 

wrench set to 15 in.-lbs.
