1. The antenna requires a slotted 16mm diameter
mounting hole in order to secure the antenna.
If the vehicle does not have a slotted 16mm mounting
hole, then an optional bracket may be required.
2. Feed the Satellite Cable and GPS cable through the
slot and secure the antenna with the bolt and lock
washer provided.
2. Run the cables through to the Beam Docking Station
or Iridium handset installed inside the vehicle, be
sure to secure the cables appropriately so that the
cable does not rattle or cause any interference or
obstruction. Be sure to waterproof the entry point of
the cables into the vehicle.
