SETTING UP YOUR FLEXPAK6
Complete the following steps to connect and power your FlexPak6. Be sure to mount the antenna to a
secure, stable structure with an unobstructed view of the sky.
1. Using a coaxial cable, connect the antenna to the port, which is found on the front face of the
FlexPak6.
2. Connect the
USB
or
COM1
port on the receiver to the USB or serial port on your computer. If you are
using a USB connection, install the USB drivers available from our web site at to

.
3. Connect the power cable connector to the
port. Line up the red mark on the power cable connector
with the red mark on the receiver’s
port and insert power cable.
Alternative Power Source
If you use an alternative power source, the 12 V car adapter can be cut off from the power cable. The
exposed wires can then be tied to a 6-36 VDC power supply capable of at least 5 W.
Since the 12 V car adapter on the supplied adapter cable incorporates a 6 A fuse, a user supplied 6 A slow
blow fuse in a suitable holder must be used at the alternate power source to protect both the power supply
and your warranty. The car adapter is not recommended for use if your power source is greater than 12 V.
