B.1 INSTALLING
Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky. Ensure there are
no major obstructions or fixtures in the immediate proximity to the antenna. The antenna
relies on direct “line of sight” satellite reception. If you are unsure that the chosen location
is suitable it may be advisable to mount the antenna in a temporary manner to verify correct
operation. The thread used on the antenna (1", 14 TPI) is an industry standard thread used
on a wide range of mounting brackets, including the swivel joints commonly used for angled
surfaces. However due to the manufacturing process of these mounting brackets you may
see that there is some slop when tightening down the antenna to the bracket. This is of no
concern however as the antenna must be tightened until the antenna stops rotating on the
antenna mounting bracket.

The antenna design also allows for easy flush mounting.
1. Apply the adhesive mounting template sheet in the area that was verified to
receive satellite signal well.
2. Then, following template instruction, drill a 1" (25mm) hole and three 0.13"
(3.2mm) holes.
