Operation Tuning Antenna STEP 1. The more accurately you determine North, the easier it is to locate the satellite. Step outside and away from your vehicle. (Standing to near your vehicle can give incorrect compass readings.) It is helpful if there is a landmark on the horizon to represent North. Return to the vehicle and point the Directional Dial North, or to the landmark. STEP 1. Your receiver should indicate it is receiving a signal.

You may need to rotate the dish in small increments to find the signal. Rotate the dish 3° at a time to the left, stopping for a few seconds each time you move the dish. Try moving the dish up to 20° to the left. If no signal is found, return to the azimuth listed and try rotating 20° to the right.
STEP 3. Attach dish to backup. Use bolts and nuts provided, Figure 4. STEP 4. Mount dish on roof in upright position. Rotate clockwise to stop, Figure 5. Dish will be toward back of vehicle when in stowed or travel position. The word FRONT is embossed on the base and should face the front of vehicle. Secure to roof using screws (provided). The travel bracket should be mounted to roof 6-1/8” from base of dish, toward back of vehicle. See Figure 6.
STEP 15. The directional handle and threaded rod will fit roofs up to 5-1/4” thick. If you are using wedges to compensate for roof/cceiling slope, be sure to allow for this extra thickness. You may add an extension to the directional handle for thicker roofs. Each extension will increase the length of the directional handle by 2-1/4”.

CAUTION! After INITIAL INSTALLATION, the antenna SHOULD ROTATE APPROXIMATELY 360° FROM TRAVEL POSITION. The pointer on the DIRECTIONAL HANDLE should point towards the RED SCREW ON THE ROTATION CLAMP when in the TRAVEL POSITION.

Digital Elevation Sensor Interior Wallplate STEP 19. See Figure 17. If using the SM-1000 surface mount box, feed cable through hole in box. STEP 20. Connect wires coming from sensor on roof to wall plate display in vehicle. It is important to properly connect the wires at the roof and the wall plate. (Plug will click when inserted properly.) The system is designed to use a 9 volt battery OR +12 VDC from vehicle. Do not use both! IMPROPER WIRING WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT, SEE FIGURE 18.
