INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY STEP 1. Choose a location for antenna that will allow it to rest in travel position with antenna pointing toward rear of vehicle and raise and rotate without interfering with other roof-mounted equipment. Make sure inside ceiling area is clear where ceiling plate will mount. NOTE: Figure 1 shows minimum distance (10") antenna should be located from edge of vehicle roof. We recommend you check with your dealer or the manufacturer to see what provisions have been made in

STEP 3. Attach reflector to backup assembly as shown in Figure 2. STEP 4. Attach RS-1000 antenna to elevating tubes, see Figure 2, using the two Eclips and pins provided. Attach coax cable to F-jack on antenna, slide weather boot over boot collar.

STEP 5. The mount is designed to fit roofs 1" to 4 3/4" thick. If roof is less than 4 3/4" thick, cut elevating shft and directional handle to size. (See table below.) If roof is more than 4 3/4" thick, the RP-2000 Thick Roof Kit is required. See page 15, A for chart. CAUTION: IF YOU ARE USING THE RW-1000 ROOF WEDGE, ADD 1/2" TO ELEVATING SHAFT LENGTH GIVEN BELOW, BUT NOT TO THE DIRECTIONAL HANDLE.

OPERATION STEP 1. Using a compass, determine which direction is North. It is recommended that you step outside to perform this step. Standing in or near coach/RV can give you an incorrect reading. The more accurately you determine North, the easier it will be to find the satellite(s). Directional Handle Elevating Crank Directional Handle Directional Dial Pointer FIGURE 5 Rotation Clamp STEP 2.

TUNING ANTENNA FOR BEST PICTURE STEP 8. Your receiver should indicate it is receiving a signal. To tune your antenna for the best picture, slowly move the antenna left, then right until you have found the position that gives the highest signal strength. It is important to turn the antenna slowly; since the signal is digital the receiver takes a few seconds to lock on. STEP 9. Place rotation clamp in the LOCK position. This prevents the antenna from moving and losing the signal. STEP 10. Slowly

MAINTENANCE MOUNT LUBRICATION To lubricate the mount, apply a liberal amount of silicone spray lubricant to the elevating gear, the lubricant hole and between the gear housing and baseplate. Run the antenna up/down and rotate the antenna to distribute the lubricant. See Figure 9. Remove cap and spray Spray lubricant lubricant into the here on elevation gear lubricate hole. Be sure place cap firmly back on. Spray lubricant around edges FIGURE 9 LUBRICATING RUBBER QUAD RING Lubricate rubber qu

TROUBLE SHOOTING NO PICTURE 1. Check that you have a clear line of sight to the satellite (no trees, buildings, etc.). 2. Check that you have the TV set tuned for the correct channel 3 or 4 (same channel as output of receiver). 3. Double check that you have entered the correct zip code into the receiver. If zip code is wrong, this can cause you to look in the wrong direction/elevation for the satellite. 4. Check connections at receiver, TV, and antenna. 5. Check TV. Does it receive pic
