Who Should Install the System? To ensure a safe and effective installation, KVH recommends that a KVH-authorized marine technician install the TracVision M3 system. To find a technician near you, go to If you purchased the product and decide to install it yourself, please see the enclosed warranty statement for warranty implications. Important Safety Precaution CAUTION DO NOT apply power to the TracVision antenna with the radome removed because the antenna has moving parts that can cause injury. Receiver Activation Once the system is fully installed, the owner needs to call KVH’s Activation Department to activate the receiver for DIRECTV® service: Toll-free at 1-866-551-8004 The owner will need the red Activation Card when calling to activate. In addition, the antenna will need to be turned on and locked onto the satellite.

The antenna requires a clear view of the sky to receive satellite TV. The fewer obstructions above decks, the better the system will perform. • When choosing a mounting surface, ensure it is wide enough to accommodate the antenna’s base. See illustrations for antenna dimensions. • Ensure the mounting surface is flat, level Antenna Vessel Platform Radar Blocked! (within ±2.), and strong enough to support the 18-pound antenna. Use a separate mounting plate, if necessary. • Custom mounting solutions, including struts and masts, are available from several third-party manufacturers. Contact your local KVH dealer for details. • KVH recommends that you do not mount the antenna on the same level as the radar, because the radar’s energy might overload the antenna. • Be sure to mount the antenna near enough to the supplied belowdecks receiver to allow you to connect the 50-ft. (15 m) coax cable between the antenna and the receiver, while still maintaining sufficient slack in the cable. The antenna cable CANNOT be extended. • When choosing a location for the receiver, find a dry, well-ventilated area belowdecks away from any heat sources. Also be sure the receiver’s front panel will be easily accessible to the user and the three lights on the top of the receiver will be visible. 17.32" (44 cm) 15.5" 4 x 0.31" ( 0.79 cm) (39.37 cm) 9.2" (23.37 cm) 4.6" (11.68 cm) 2.8" (7.11 cm) 5.6" (14.22 cm) FWD 54-0274-01 Rev.

Make sure the “FWD” (forward) arrow points toward the bow and is parallel to the vessel’s centerline. You do not need to mount the antenna exactly on the vessel’s centerline, but the antenna’s forward arrow must be parallel to it. 2. Use the template to mark the four hole locations on the mounting surface. 3. Drill a 5.16" (8 mm) hole at the four locations you marked in Step 2. Later, you will insert four 1.4"-20 bolts from above to secure the antenna to the mounting surface. 2.8" (7.1 cm) 5.6" (14.2 cm) 4.6" (11.7 cm) 9.2" (23.4 cm) 4 x 0.31" ( 0.8 cm) Mounting Holes Cable Access Hole (Suggested Location) X 4.
