• Connect the cable to the antenna and protect the connector with the rubber boot. • Make sure the connection at the antenna is tightened (but not over-torqued) to ensure electrical and weatherproof connection. • Route the cable through the roof or behind the hatch. • Do not kink or stress the cable. • If you cut the cable, use an Augat tool to terminate the cable with the supplied Snap-N-Seal F-connector. Low-quality connectors will degrade performance. (Augat tool KVH P/N: 19-0242) Refer to the Installation Guide for details.

• Inform the customer about the system’s use and limitations: ° How to use the remote control and how to turn on and operate the TracVision A5. ° The new height of the vehicle with the antenna installed. ° The antenna tracks the DIRECTV 101W satellite. It cannot receive channels on other satellites. ° It is dangerous to watch television or operate the remote control while driving a vehicle. The TracVision A5 is designed for rear-seat entertainment only. ° Do not move the vehicle for 20 seconds after turning on the TracVision A5. This allows the antenna gyros to initialize properly. ° The antenna must have a clear view of the southern sky to receive satellite signals. Common causes of blockage include trees, buildings, and overpasses. The system will not work inside a garage. ° Heavy rain, dew, or ice may temporarily interrupt reception or, if starting up, impair the antenna’s ability to find the satellite.
