2.1 Assembly instructions of the external unit

CAUTION! Read carefully the safety standards concerning installation before in-

stalling the device. The non-observance of these instructions may lead to dam-

age or serious injuries.

2.1.1 On the roof of the vehicle, nd a suciently large area of roof (preferably

at the sides of the roof) that allows for the positioning of the satellite dish (see

picture 2 )

2.1.2 Clean carefully the area of the roof selected for the in-

stallation of the external unit (remove oil, grease and

dust). Carefully clean the lower part of the fastening

plate in order to remove any trace of dust and grease.

2.1.3 With a silicon gun apply a homogenous layer of struc-

tural polyurethane adhesive at ambient temperature

in the lower part of the fastening plate (dekasyl MS-2

OR MS-5 glue is recommended; keep to the instruc-

tions for application).

2.1.4 Position the external unit on the previously

cleaned roof area. Push strongly on it in order to ensure

a good distribution and adhesion of the glue.

CAUTION!!! When assembling the external unit, ensure that the bottom of the dish when

closed is facing the direction of travel (see picture 3)
