1. Clean and dry the antenna mounting
surface.
2. Peel off the paper backing from the donut-
shaped foam seal to expose the adhesive.
Then press the foam seal down firmly onto
the mounting surface, centered between the
antenna mounting holes.
3. Using the supplied 3 mm Allen hex key,
remove the connector cover from the
antenna’s base. Save the cover and the four
M4 cap screws for later use.
4. Route either end of the antenna cable into
the vessel. Later, you will connect this end of
the cable to the belowdecks receiver. You will
connect the other end to the antenna.
5. If you wish to route the cable beneath the
antenna, attach the right-angle connector to
the end of the cable. Hand-tighten, then
tighten with a
7
⁄16" wrench for
1
⁄4 turn to
ensure an electrical and weather-proof
connection
6. Connect the cable to the antenna. Hand-
tighten, then tighten with a
7
⁄16" wrench for
1
⁄4 turn. Rigging tape is recommended to protect
the connector.
7. Reattach the cover over the connector.
Secure in place with the M4 cap screws you
removed in Step 3. The cover must be
attached before you mount the antenna.
8. Leave an adequate service loop,
approximately 8" (20 cm) of slack, in the
antenna cable for easy serviceability.
9. Seal the cable access hole with silicone
sealant or equivalent.
