Nicks or cuts in wiring jacket may cause water to leak into vehicle.
Connect the quick disconnect power cable to the quick disconnect socket on
the back of the RoadTrip Mission unit. See
Figure 4
below.
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.
Connect a coax cable from the “Satellite in” port of the primary receiver to
the main port on the back of the RoadTrip Mission 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 RoadTrip Mission unit. Note: the
secondary receiver will not toggle.
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: this is not required for DIRECTV Installation. This is only required if the
dome has been removed to change the switch settings (see page 3).
Place the RoadTrip Mission dome over the unit so that the decals on the
dome face away from the centerline of the vehicle.
Line up the holes in the dome with the holes in the RoadTrip Mission base.
Insert all of the dome screws, and tighten.
Choose a location to install the RoadTrip Mission power On/Off switch. When
selecting a location, remember that you will need to run the +12VDC power
cable from the RoadTrip Mission antenna to the switch.
Be sure the switch is in the Off position before continuing. See Figure 6.
For a wall or panel mount, drill 1¼” hole, and pull wires through wall or
panel. Using a large yellow flag connector, connect the ground wire from the
vehicle and the black ground wire from the antenna.
Connect the yellow flag connector to the spade on the switch.
Connect the red wire from the antenna to the small red flag connector.
Connect the small red flag connector to the center spade on switch.
Connect the +12V power wire from the vehicle to a small red flag connector.
Connect a small red flag connector to isolated spade on switch.
