Nicks or cuts in wiring jacket may cause water
to leak into vehicle.
TIP
This is not required for DIRECTV
®
Installation.
This is only required if the dome has been
removed to change the switch settings for a
different satellite provider (see page 4).
1)
Place the T4 dome over the unit so that the decals on
the dome face away from the centerline of the vehicle.
2)
Line up the holes in the dome with the holes in the
T4 base.
3)
Insert all of the dome screws, and tighten.
1)
Choose a location to install the T4 power On/Off switch.
When selecting a location, remember that you will need to run
the +12VDC power cable from the T4 antenna to the switch.
2)
For a wall or panel mount, drill 1¼” hole, and pull wires
through wall or panel.
3)
Be sure the switch is in the
OFF
position before continuing.
4)
Connect the +12V power wire from the vehicle to a small red
flag connector.
5)
Connect a small red flag connector to isolated spade on switch.
6)
Connect the red wire from the antenna to the small red
flag connector.
7)
Connect the small red flag connector to the center spade on
switch.
8)
Slide the ground wire from the vehicle into one end of the
barrel crimp splice, and slide the black ground wire from the
antenna into the opposite end of the splice. Crimp the splice.
Continue to page 4 for DISH receiver setup or page 5 for
DIRECTV receiver setup.
1)
Connect the quick disconnect power cable to the quick
disconnect power socket on the back of the
RoadTrip
®
T4 unit.
2)
Decide the best location for the power and coax cables to
enter the vehicle. Decide the location of the power switch
and receiver. Drill a ¾” hole in the roof, and push the
wires inside, making sure the cables are accessible from
the area where the power switch and receiver will
be located.
3)
Connect a coax cable from the “Satellite in” port of the
primary receiver to the main port on the back of the T4
unit. For a two receiver or dual tuner (DVR) installation,
connect a second coax cable (not provided) to the
secondary port on the back of the T4 unit.
4)
Place the provided cable entry plate over the hole and
cables. Screw the plate in place. Seal the plate and screw
holes with approved sealant (not included).
Depending on the length of the cable, you may need to use
cable clamps or wire ties (not provided) between the unit
and the cable entry plate. Clamping every 12”–16” should
eliminate any unnecessary cable movement.
NOTE
The secondary receiver will not toggle.
