Choosing a Location for the Antenna & Power Supply
Before mounting the antenna,
determine a location for the wall
plate/power supply.
Keep in mind the following:
A coaxial cable will have to run
from the the power supply to the
antenna and from the power supply
to each television.
A 12 V connection must be made to
the back of the power supply.
Refer to the diagram on page 7 for
more information on connecting to
the power supply.
Then, choose a location for the
antenna that meets the following
requirements:
Offers enough support for a secure
installation
Maintains adequate clearance
from the edge of the roof and any
obstructions
• clearance distance of 24 in.
needed from center of antenna to
front of the vehicle
• clearance distance of 18 in.
needed from center of antenna
to nearest obstruction and to the
edge of the roof

Mounting Option 1, Cont.
If installing the antenna so that the cable enters the vehicle directly
beneath the antenna, follow the steps below for Mounting Option 1.
1.
Make sure the ceiling area is clear underneath
the chosen location for the antenna.
2.
Run coaxial cable from the chosen location for
the power supply to the chosen location for
the antenna.
3.
Run the cable upward through the circular
gasket and pedestal.
4.
Connect the coaxial cable running
through the gasket and pedestal to
the coaxial cable running from the
Coaxial cable
running from
antenna head

5.
Place the circular gasket in the
chosen location for the antenna,
Coaxial cable
running through
gasket and pedestal
and trace around the inner and
outer edges of the gasket.
6.
Check with the vehicle
manufacturer for approved sealant
for the vehicle.
7.
Then, apply a liberal amount of sealant between the inner and outer
traced circles.
8.
Replace the circular gasket where the sealant has been applied.
12.
Run a solid bead of sealant where the edge of the pedestal and gasket
assembly meets the roof and over the screw heads.
13.
Gently push the cable slack downward through the pedestal.
14.
Twist the antenna head back and forth while pushing it onto the pedestal.
The pedestal should engage with the snap ring inside the antenna head.
While applying pressure, rotate the
15.
head until feeling the grooves in

Push down again; you should hear
the head click into place.
Warning: Once the head and pedestal
are connected, the head cannot be
removed without incurring damage.
17.
Check that the scribe line on the
pedestal is no longer visible. If the
scribe line is still visible, the head is
not fully seated on the pedestal.
Pull the antenna head upward. If
18.
the head is unable to slide upward
on the pedestal, the head is fully
seated on the pedestal. If the head
slides upward, the head is not fully
seated on the pedestal.
Plug the slot in the pedestal with the
