Step 1 - Disconnect Power and Remove the 
Radome

Follow the steps below to swap out either an old or 
current model LNB.

1.

Power off and unplug the ICM, or modem and 

control unit, to disconnect power from the 
antenna.

2.

Remove and discard the three #10-32 screws 

securing the radome to the baseplate (see 

Figure 2). Carefully lift the radome straight up 

until clear of the antenna assembly and set it 

aside in a safe place. 

If you keep the radome topside, secure it with a 
lanyard to prevent it from falling overboard. 

Do not place the radome on a hot steel deck – 
the heat may warp the radome.

CAUTION

For your own safety, be sure to disconnect power 
from all wired components before performing 
this procedure.
