2. Installation
2.1 Installation on the roof
Basically, we recommend that you leave the installation to make by your dealer or workshop!
Warning:
Please also note that the antenna height of the vehicle will change accordingly!
Please strictly adhere to the various points in the installation instructions!
General Information:
Provide a suitable working environment, a garage/warehouse is better than open air.
The ambient temperature for installation is between +5° C and max. +25° C. Work not
directly in the sun. Comply with the safety regulations when handling with chemical
products. Provide the necessary hygiene.
Preparation:
1. Make sure that the roof of your vehicle is sufficiently stable. In case of insufficient or
doubtful roof stability is an approximately 2 mm thick plate with 100 x 100 cm is to be
attached to the outer roof skin. Ask to your vehicle manufacturer.
2. Make sure that all parts are present.
3. Place the antenna on the later assembly
area and align it so that the mirror and the
LNB unit pointing towards the rear of the
vehicle. Make sure that the slot is flat and
no roof structures in the way that can in-
terfere with satellite reception. Construc-
tions up to 20 cm in height do not matter,
higher ups should have a corresponding
distance to the antenna, so that no obst-
acle exists between the antenna and the
satellite. The least distance to an air condi-
tioner should be 30 cm.
4. Clean the mounting surface with a suita-
ble cleaner and a fleece cloth to remove
dirt and impurities. Then draw the anten-
