BASE MOUNT OPERATION
STEP 1. Turn your receiver on, and using the
installation menus, determine the heading (azimuth)
and elevation for your location.
STEP 2. Remove the compass from the mount.
(The metal pipe and antenna WILL effect
compass operation.) Using the compass,
determine the best location for the mount. The
satellite signal WILL NOT go through trees,
buildings, etc.
STEP 3. After you have determined the best
location, secure mount to deck using 1/4” diameter
lag screws or bolts (not supplied). Mount must be
level and the arrow on the mount must point north,
Figure 5.
STEP 4. Attach mount pipe to the antenna and
tighten. Adjust antenna elevation to the correct
setting for your location.
STEP 5. Set the antenna/pipe onto the mount.
Connect antenna to receiver.
STEP 6. Using the heading (azimuth) markings on
mount base, SLOWLY rotate antenna to the correct
heading. If you do not find the satellite, be sure you
have entered the correct zip code for your location
and that there are no obstructions (trees, buildings,
hills, etc.).
STEP 7. After you have found the satellite, secure
the pipe using the adjustment knob.
