Cable entry installation —
1.Decide the best location for the cables to enter the vehicle, and the location of the switch and receiver (see “Installing the switch and receiver” below.) Drill a 1/2” hole in the roof, push wires inside. Make proper connections (remember you must have fil- tered +12 VDC power source).
2.Place
3.Depending on the length of the cable on the roof, you may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not provided) between the
unit and your cable- |

Installing the switch —
1.Decide the location of the power on/off switch. The + 12 VDC power cable connects to this switch and then to a filtered +12 VDC power source. Be sure the switch is turned off before you begin! Figure 8.
Wall or panel mount: Drill
Surface mount: Determine location and direction of box. Mount box feed wire into one of the box openings.
Select plate cover (brown or white provided) and snap the rocker switch into the switch plate. Be sure switch is turned off!
a. Connect ground wires together using large yellow spade connector - black ground wire from
MV unit and ground wire from vehicle.
b. Connect yellow spade connector to silver spade on switch.
c.Connect red wire from unit to small red spade connector.
d.Connect red spade connector to center spade on switch.
e.Connect +12 VDC wire from vehicle
to small red spade connector.
f. Connect red spade connector to isolated spade on switch.

Connecting the receiver —
1.Connnect the coax cable from the roof to the “Sat- ellite In” connection on the receiver.
SAT IN
Satellite Receiver
(A dual receiver upgrade kit is available for this model,
Check all your connections when you’re done!
Initializing & replacing the dome —
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 has found the correct satellite.
5.After the correct satellite has been found, secure GPS antenna by removing adhesive backing and se- curing to roof.
