Ensure you have all the installation hardware and tools required for u8 terminal assembly. Installation tools are not
provided with the product. If you ordered any u8 accessory kit(s) to accompany your u8 terminal or u8 ODU, refer to the
installation instructions shipped with the kit(s).
During installation, avoid obstructing the air intake screens or drain holes.
✎
Never grab or lift the u8 by the shroud, diplexer or any other part of the RF chain. Never use the diplexer or any
part of the RF chain to mount the ODU as they are not a structural part of the u8 and may be damaged if handled
improperly. Avoid damaging the coating on the diplexer.
Use the corner handles to lift the u8.
