Installation
Installation Tips
•
The cable length as supplied is part of the electrical circuit of the antenna. DO NOT ALTER THE
CABLE LENGTH. The cable must not be cut, spliced or altered in any manner, as satellite receiver
reception will be adversely affected. Excess cable may be stored where it will not be damaged.
•
Care must be taken during installation to avoid nicks, cuts or damage to the cable and cable
jacket. Once damaged the cable cannot be repaired and must be replaced.
•
The connector should not be removed for routing purposes. It cannot be repaired or replaced
once removed in the field. If damaged you will need to replace the entire cable assembly.
•
To ensure that water does not seep into the connector connecting the cable to the Antenna
Assembly make sure the rubber boot is tightly secured onto the Antenna Assembly.
•
Cable ties may be required depending on the desired installation. These items are not included in
the packaging.
•
Select a mounting location that enables the antenna to have a clear and unobstructed view (no
impediments/blockages below 25 degrees from horizontal). The truck cab or truck trailer should
not block the view of the antenna.
•
To decrease interference from other antennas mounted on the vehicle, place this antenna on the
opposite side of the truck from any HAM or CB radios.
