Safety Recommendations

Unpacking the Unit

MiniMax Antenna 2

Do not attempt to install this

system in the rain or under any

wet conditions. Moisture may

affect electronics and void your

warranty.

Do not paint this antenna.

Painting the MiniMax antenna will

void your warranty.

For best performance and to reduce signal acquisition time, park the vehicle on

a level surface that is free of obstructions such as trees or large buildings. Make

sure you have a clear view of the southern sky.

If using a knife to open carton,

be careful. Do not cut the dome

on the unit.

the unit from the carton.

Open box, and remove packing material. Lift the unit out of the box vertically. Do

not turn box and “roll” out the unit. Do not turn box upside-down to remove.

Quick Reference Guide

Installing Unit on Roof of Vehicle

3 MiniMax Antenna

Install in dry conditions only!

Select a level spot on your roof for installation. Level the base front-to-back

and side-to-side. If the base is not level, the antenna may require more time

to locate the correct satellite or may not locate the correct satellite.

Ensure proper

distance to

other rooftop

equipment is

maintained.

Be sure no

roof-mounted

equipment is

blocking the

satellite “line

of sight”. See

Figure 1.

DIRECTV

Bell TV DISH Hybrid

The MiniMax antenna switch settings are preset for DIRECTV. If you have a

DISH or Bell TV receiver, you must change the numbered switches found on the

electronics box under the dome.

Hybrid mode is for use in areas where the 129° satellite is not available and

standard DISH settings fail to provide HD programming.

Installing Unit on Roof of Vehicle, Cont.

MiniMax Antenna 4

After selecting a location for the unit, place the unit so that the centerline

of the dome is on or parallel to the centerline of the vehicle. The centerline

of the dome runs from the point between the two back feet where cable

connections are located to the opposite point directly between the two front

feet. Position base so that cables exit toward the rear of the vehicle.

To ensure proper installation, check that the distance from the edge of the

roof to the rear corner of any foot is at least 12”.

Place the unit on the roof in its permanent location, and mark around each

base foot. See Figure 3.

Clean the roof area where the base feet will attach to the roof; do not erase

your marks.

Put approved sealant in the areas marked for the base feet. Check with your

vehicle manufacturer for approved sealant. Place the base feet on top of the

sealant.

Before using the supplied mounting screws, check with your vehicle

manufacturer for any special screw requirements. Screw down with three

screws for each foot. After all base feet are secured to the roof, put sealant

around the edge of feet and over screws.

Installing the Cables

Overall Installation

5 MiniMax Antenna

Nicks or cuts in wiring jacket may cause water to leak into vehicle.

Connect the quick disconnect power cable to the quick disconnect socket on

the back of the RoadTrip MiniMax unit. See Figure 4 below.

Decide the best location for the power and coax cables to enter the vehicle.

Decide the location of the power switch and receiver. Drill a ¾” hole in the

roof, and push the wires inside, making sure the cables are accessible from

the area where the power switch and receiver will be located.

Using a coax cable, connect the primary receiver to the main port on the

back of the RoadTrip MiniMax unit. For a two receiver or dual tuner (DVR)

installation, connect a second coax cable (not provided) to the secondary

port on the back of the RoadTrip MiniMax unit.

Place the provided cable entry plate over the hole and cables. Screw the

plate in place. Seal the plate and screw holes with approved sealant (not

included).

Depending on the length of the cable, you may need to use cable clamps or wire

ties (not provided) between the unit and the cable entry plate. Clamping every

12–16” should eliminate any unnecessary cable movement.

Installing the Power Switch

MiniMax Antenna 6

Choose a location to install the RoadTrip MiniMax power On/Off switch.

When selecting a location, remember that you will need to run the +12VDC

power cable from the RoadTrip MiniMax antenna to the switch.

Be sure the switch is in the Off position before continuing. See Figure 6.

For a wall or panel mount, drill 1¼” hole, and pull wires through wall or

panel. Using a large yellow flag connector, connect the ground wire from the

vehicle and the black ground wire from the antenna.

Connect the yellow flag connector to the spade on the switch.

Connect the red wire from the antenna to the small red flag connector.

Connect the small red flag connector to the center spade on switch.

Connect the +12V power wire from the vehicle to a small red flag connector.

Connect a small red flag connector to isolated spade on switch.

Continue to page 7 for DISH receiver setup or page 11 for DIRECTV receiver

setup.

Installing the Dome

Note: this is not required for DIRECTV Installation. This is only required if the

dome has been removed to change the switch settings (see page 3).

Place the RoadTrip MiniMax dome over the unit so that the decals on the

dome face away from the centerline of the vehicle.

Line up the holes in the dome with the holes in the RoadTrip MiniMax base.

Insert all of the dome screws, and tighten.

DISH Receiver Setup

Select option 1, Point Dish.

Before turning the MiniMax antenna on, follow the steps below

to clear out any existing receiver settings. If your receiver differs

from the options shown, you may need to consult your receiver

manual. The wording and display used in your receiver may

differ slightly.

For help, email [email protected] or call 1-800-788-4417

Before starting, disconnect coax

cable from “Sat In” on back of

receiver. Press Menu on your

remote. Select option 6, System

Setup.

Select option 1, Installation.

Disclaimer: Receiver setup instructions are accurate at time of printing and may change without

notice. Call Winegard tech line for assistance: 1-800-788-4417.

MiniMax Antenna 8

DISH Receiver Setup

Select Test.

It will go through a number of

steps, then return to the screen

shown here with previous

information cleared.

If at any point it asks you to save,

select Save or Yes.

Reconnect the coaxial cable to the “Sat In” port on back of receiver. Now turn on

the antenna. Allow it 3–4 minutes to acquire satellites.

(If you have an In-Motion system, after the search routine is complete the system

will take another 6 minutes before going into “Sleep Mode”. Once it does, the unit

will be completely silent. Do not proceed to Step 6 until this has happened.)

Move over to select Check

Switch.

Check that there are no

checkmarks by SuperDISH or

Alternate.

Next, select Test again.

This time it will install the

SW64 switch. This SW64 switch

is a DISH receiver setting, not a

physical part.

When you see the SW64 as the

installed switch, the antenna is ready for use.

SW64

9 MiniMax Antenna

The MiniMax antenna will operate with most DISH receivers. Winegard does

not recommend using receivers with hard drives not recommended by the

manufacturer for mobile applications. Winegard recommends using a single

tuner DISH receiver.

DISH Satellite Coverage

The antenna will locate and toggle between satellites 110°, 119° and 129° in

Western Arc Mode. The MiniMax antenna will not operate in all areas where

satellites 110°, 119° and 129° are available.

The antenna will locate and toggle between satellites 110°, 119° and 61.5° in

Hybrid mode. The antenna will not operate in all areas where satellites 110°, 119°

and 61.5° are available.

Satellite coverage maps are based on level, stationary operation. Reception

interruption may also occur during adverse weather conditions.
