Installation Guidelines
This guide outlines the process for installing the
IsatDock PRO in conjunction with an Inmarsat
IsatPhone Pro handset.
This kit must not be used with any other device
other than the Inmarsat IsatPhone Pro handset.
• Only trained personnel should install
communication equipment.
• Ensure that the unit is protected from dirt
and moisture.
• • Select an area to mount components
where
• there is no interference with other objects.
• A strong mounting surface should be
chosen to ensure the terminal doesn’t
loosen over time.
• Mount all components securely for safe day
to day operation. Always use the supplied
mounting hardware.
• Leave space around the unit to allow airow
and ensure there is adequate clearance for
cables.
• Ensure the units can be easily accessible for
servicing.
(0V) line. Failure to insert a fuse can cause
equipment to overheat if a wiring fault exists.
• Many parts of a vehicle can produce electrical
noise that interferes with the electrical radio
system operation. The ignition system is
the most common source of electrical noise
interference. Before you begin installation,
ensure that the ignition wiring and
connections to the vehicle battery are in
good working condition.
• Verify that low resistance connections are
present between the battery negative
terminal, the vehicle chassis, and the
engine block. All wire connections should
be clean and tight.
• For vehicle installation, install provided
fuses into the +BATT and ignition sense
(accessory) wires.
WARNING
Do not connect the IsatDock interface
power cable to power the unit until the full
installation is completed.
Routing Cables
• Route cables so they are protected from
pinching, sharp edges, and crushing.
• Use grommets wherever a cable must pass
through a hole in a metal panel
• Keep all in-line connectors accessible.
• For an extra clean installation, a hole may
be driven through the surface directly
behind the docking station.
Guidelines for Electrical Connections
The system is designed to operate in negative
ground 10 to 32 Volt DC electrical systems only.
If using the DC cable lead:
• The best power connection point for
the positive primary power lead is the
positive terminal of the vehicle battery.
Often, direct connection to the battery is
inconvenient, and you may find it easier
to connect the positive leads to the
starter solenoid. Always select a point
as close as possible to the battery.
• Connect the negative primary power leads to
a good ground point on the vehicle chassis or
at the battery. If you must attach the negative
primary power lead directly to the negative
pole of the battery, you may optionally insert
a 10-amp fuse (not included) into the ground

The two external antenna connectors can be
found in the cavity at the top of the IsatDock
PRO cradle. There are two RF connections
required, the Satellite TNC – Female Connector
and GPS SMA-Female connector.
1. Refer to the antennas installation guide
for antenna mounting and location
requirements.
2. Connect the antenna cable labelled “GPS”
to the SMA antenna connector labelled
“GPS”.
3. Connect the antenna cable labelled “Inmarsat”
