IMPORTANT! Do not install this system
in the rain, or under any wet conditions
. Mois-
ture may affect electronics and void your
warranty!
1. For best performance and to reduce signal ac-
quisition time, park vehicle on a level surface;
level the RV.
2. Select a level spot on your roof for installation.
Using the chart,
determine the
minimum
distances
to other equipment.
WARNING:
Level the base front to back and side
to side. If base is not level the MV3500T may re-
quire more time to locate the correct satellite
or may not locate the correct satellite.
• Be sure no roof-mounted equipment is
blocking the satellite “line of sight”, Fig. 3
• You will need to decide where the wires will enter
the vehicle. A coax and a power wire (minimum 16
gauge) will need to be run into the vehicle.
WARNING: Many +12VDC sources can cause the
unit to fail. Select a filtered source, preferably a dedi-
cated line to the battery.
