General information:

Sorgen Sie für einen geeigneten Arbeitsplatz, eine Garage/Halle ist besser als ein Platz im
Freien. Die Umgebungstemperatur zur Montage soll zwischen +5° C und max. +25° C
liegen. Arbeiten Sie nicht direkt in der Sonne. Halten Sie die Arbeitsvorschriften beim

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. You may also need a roof penetration for the
connecting cable of the antenna. This you get in specialist shops.
3. Place the antenna on the installation area and align it so that the antenna connection
is not facing forward. Make sure that the mounting location is flat and do not interfere
with roof constructions that can interfere with satellite reception. Constructions up to
8 cm in height do not matter, higher constructions should have a respective distance
from the antenna, so that no barrier exists between the antenna and the satellite. The
least distance to an air conditioner should be 30 cm.
4. Clean the mounting surface with a suitable cleaner and a fleece cloth to remove dirt
and impurities. Then draw the antenna feet with a pen.
