Making Cable Entry Holes, Travel Position

Making Cable Entry Holes

1The ceiling plate will be mounted inside the vehicle directly underneath the mounting bracket. Make sure the ceiling area is clear underneath the chosen location for the mounting bracket.

2Use the template on the last page of this manual, and drill a 4.5 cm hole through the roof and ceiling of the vehicle. Be careful not to damage any wiring between the roof and ceiling when drilling.

3Using the template on the back page, drill a 13 mm hole for cable entry through the roof of the vehicle only. Do not drill through the ceiling!

Assembling the Antenna

1Pull the e-clip off of the pin, and remove the pin from the leveling bracket.

Set the e-clip and the pin aside—you will need these later.

E-clip Pin

NOTE An extra e-clip has been provided, which is in a bag attached to the back of the boom.

2 With the elements on top of the boom, insert the elevating gear in-between the sides of the leveling bracket. The holes in the sides of the leveling bracket and the elevating gear should align.

Installing the Mounting Bracket

1If using a roof wedge or interior wedge, put in place before proceeding to install the base plate or interior hardware.

2Center the elevating shaft in the 4.5 cm diameter hole. Check with your vehicle manufacturer to determine if the provided screws are suitable for your roof. Temporarily secure the base plate to the roof with two of the provided screws. Check that the weather boot is in place over the boot collar.

4 Remove the cap from the coax connection port.

3Make sure the antenna is in the chosen location. The antenna should be in the stowed/travel position. The coax cable should be routed through the ceiling and wall to the power supply.

4Apply a liberal amount of approved nonhardening sealing compound on the bottom of the base plate.

This will help to prevent leaks.

Do not get sealing compound on bearing surface between base plate and rotating gear housing.

Do not paint the top of the base plate or around the rotating gear housing.

5Using the provided screws, secure the base plate to the roof. Run a solid bead of sealant over the mounting screws. This will also help to prevent leaks.

Travel Position

TIP Run sealant around the holes for

the mounting screws, around the hole for cable entry, and around the bottom gear housing.
