DOME LOCATION

4.Select an area on the roof for the dome unit and the location where the wiring will enter the vehicle through the roof to the satellite receiver, controller, and 12 volt power source inside, using the following criteria:

a)The shortest distance between the dome unit and the satellite receiver is most desirable.

b)The dome unit requires a 28 inch diameter mounting area.

c)The dome unit should be mounted on the centerline of the vehicle.

d)There must be no “line of sight” obstructions. Air conditioning units, other antennas, and storage areas that are too close to the dome unit may prevent the satellite signal from reaching the dish (Fig. 6).

IMPORTANT! For installations on trucks with air shields, a bracket must be used for mounting the dome unit. The dome unit MUST be mounted to the air ride cab: NEVER to any structure mounted directly to the frame.

See bracket instructions for proper installation (Fig. 7).
