Warnings
!Do not place the unit in water greater than one inch deep, or water may damage the electronics.
!Do not install or operate the antenna in winds of 35 mph or greater. The antenna will roll in winds ≥35 mph.
!Care should be taken when transporting and setting up the antenna. Do not toss or drop the antenna.
!Do not paint the antenna. Painting the antenna may cause signal degradation and will void your warranty.
!The antenna is not meant for use with the Carryout® ladder mount. Installing the antenna on the Carryout ladder mount may lead to serious injury and/or equipment and property damage.
1.Installing the Handle
1.Locate the two holes in the base.
2.With “WINEGARD” on the handle facing upwards, align the
two holes in the handle with the two holes in the base.
3.Thread two screws through the two aligned holes in the bottom of the handle.
NOTE The two holes for the handle are located between the cable connections and eyelet.
4.Tighten the two screws using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
2. Selecting a Location for the Pathway X1 Antenna
1.Choose a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the southern sky. Avoid obstructions such as trees, hills, vehicles, or
NOTE Satellite signal will not pass through solid objects. For this reason, it is vital to select a location with a clear,
unobstructed view of the southern sky.
2.Make sure the antenna is not placed in the path of people or vehicles; otherwise, the antenna may be knocked off of the signal if run into, or cables may be disconnected from the unit.
NOTE A 25 foot coaxial cable is included and recommended for use with the antenna. Longer coax runs could potentially cause intermittent problems. Maximum cable length should never
exceed 50 feet.
3.Select a location that will enable the Pathway X1 antenna to sit within three degrees of level. The antenna may take longer to lock onto signal if the antenna is not level.
3.Connecting the Antenna to the Receiver(s)
TIP Run the coaxial cable directly from the satellite receiver to the Pathway X1 antenna when searching for signal.
1.Connect a coax cable from the main port to the “Sat In” port on the back of the receiver that will be used most often.
The main port should always be connected to the primary receiver when the antenna is in use, or there will be no power to the electronics.
NOTE The receiver provides power to the electronics via the main port. There will be no power to the electronics if a coaxial
cable is connected to the secondary port but not the main port.
2.If hooking up the Pathway X1 antenna to two receivers, remove the cap from the secondary port, and run a second coaxial cable from the secondary port on the base to the “Sat In” port on the secondary receiver.
3.Tighten coax connections until fingertight, and then tighten a quarter turn more with a wrench. Do not overtighten.
