Decide the best location for the power and coax cables to enter the vehicle, and the location of the power switch and receiver. Drill a 3/4” hole in the roof, push wires inside.

2.Connect the Primary receiver to the Primary Port on the panel mount.

3.For a two receiver installation, connect

a second coax cable (not provided) to the SECONDARY connector on base and run cable along roof to second receiver location.

4.Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved sealant (not included).

5.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-entry plate. Clamping the cable every 12”- 16” should eliminate any unnecessary cable movement, Figure 6.
