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.
