B.1 INSTALLING

Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky. Ensure

there are no major obstructions or fixtures in the immediate proximity to the an-

tenna. The antenna relies on direct “line of sight” satellite reception. If you are un-

sure that the chosen location is suitable it may be advisable to mount the antenna in

a temporary manner to verify correct operation. The thread used on the antenna (1",

14 TPI) is an industry standard thread used on a wide range of mounting brackets,

including the swivel joints commonly used for angled surfaces. However due to the

manufacturing process of these mounting brackets you may see that there is some

slop when tightening down the antenna to the bracket. This is of no concern how-

ever as the antenna must be tightened until the antenna stops rotating on the an-

tenna mounting bracket.

The antenna design also allows for easy flush mounting.

1. Apply the adhesive mounting template sheet in the area that was verified

to receive satellite signal well.
