Installing the Dome
Note: this is not required for DIRECTV Installation. This is only required if the
dome has been removed to change the switch settings (see page 3).
Place the RoadTrip MiniMax dome over the unit so that the decals on the
dome face away from the centerline of the vehicle.
Line up the holes in the dome with the holes in the RoadTrip MiniMax base.
Insert all of the dome screws, and tighten.
