Trim coax cable if necessary and strip RG-6 coax in-
side the vehicle, illustration at right. Attach the
provided F-connector to end of the coax and crimp
connector.
Connect the coax cable to the “Satellite In” connec-
tion on satellite receiver, Fig 3.9. Follow instructions
provided with your satellite receiver to connect your
television.
Use wall or panel mounted power switch; drill 1¼”
hole and pull wires through wall or panel. If using the
surface mount box provided, mount box and feed wire
into one of the box openings.
It is necessary to connect the power switch to a 12
VDC power source in the vehicle. Winegard recom-
mends the 12 VDC source be wired directly to a 12 V
fused source in the vehicle fuse panel. The vehicle
power connection should be made last with the power
switch in the “Off ”position.
Snap the power switch into the switch plate,
Fig 3.10.
Do not connect the
power wires to an unknown or
unfused 12 volt power source.
Doing so could cause improper
operation and a fire hazard.
Pull remaining cable and wire into the vehicle.
Place the cable entry plate over the hole and cables.
Screw in place and seal plate and screws with the
approved sealant. Depending on the length of the
coax and wiring on the roof, it may be necessary to
secure them with cable clamps. Clamping the cable
every 12" to 16" should eliminate any unecessary
cable movement.

connector to the silver spade on the power switch.
Connect the positive (red) wire from the antenna to a small red
flag connector. Connect the red flag connector from the
antenna to the center spade on the power switch.
Connect the positive 12V wire from the vehicle to a small red
flag connector. Connect red flag connector from vehicle to
the isolated spade on switch. (See Fig 3.11 for diagram)
