Antenna Installation

Fixed

The recommended mounting position is on a flat surface, at the vehicle roof. If the surface is not

flat (less than a radius of 1m or 3.3ft), then make sure any gap between the surface and the

antenna base is sealed with silicon. (e.g. Dow Corning 794s Neutral silicon or similar.) Drill a

16mm (+- 5/8 ") hole in the vehicle roof. Before mounting the antenna, fit the washer in order to

seal between the antenna and the roof of the vehicle. Make sure antenna faces forward when

tightening the mounting nut (see diagram below). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN (Max. Torque = 2.5 -

3 Nm. or 1.8 - 2.2 ft. lbs). Please note that the coaxial cables are linked to the antenna, so the

installer should pass the cables through the hole first and then sit the antenna on the surface.

Temporary/Portable (“Quick Installation”)

The user can also install the antenna in a portable mode inside

the vehicle. The picture below

shows an example of how the antenna suction mounting hardware (sold by Blue Sky Network)

can be used to place the antenna from the inside of a vehicle’s windshield.
