Initializing & replacing the dome after
connecting the receiver(s) —
1. Be sure vehicle is in a location free of all obstruc-
tions and with a clear view of the satellite.
2. DO NOT MOVE VEHICLE during the first initial-
ization. Power up unit, turn on receiver. FOR THE
FIRST TIME ONLY, the unit may take up to 10 min-
utes to initially find the satellite signal. The GPS is
also initializing at this time. After the GPS initializes,
the unit will begin searching for the correct satellite.
3. If the GPS does not initialize at this time, turn off
the unit. You may need to move the GPS antenna to a
different location on your roof. After you move the
GPS, DO NOT SECURE TO ROOF.
4. TEST YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE SECURING
THE GPS ANTENNA. Make sure the TV/receiver
have the correct satellite.
5. After the correct satellite has been found, secure
GPS antenna by removing adhesive backing and se-
curing to roof.
6. Install dome. NOTE: After Heyco conmectors are
tightened, apply bead of silicone around the connec-
tor where the exterior hex nut touches the base and
around the cables where they enter the Heyco on the
exterior of the unit. See drawing below. If second
receiver is not used, apply silicone to seal center hole
of third Heyco. See drawing below.
8. Before inserting screws on sides of dome, apply
silicone to ENTIRE oval slot in gasket AND to screw
threads, then insert screws and tighten. See drawing.
Connecting two receivers
1. Connect the coax cable coming from the MV-0500
to the “ SATELLITE IN” input on the primary re-
ceiver. The primary receiver is the reciever used most
often.
2. Run a second cable through the empty Heyco open-
ing and connect to the ground block-type feed through
and connect the other end of this cable to “Satellite
IN” input on the second receiver.
