2. MAKING SURE THE ROOF HAS ENOUGH SPACE ON TOP
The MAGELLAN requires a minimum of 49” inches long by 41” inches wide of flat space on top of
the vehicle. While the mounting plate width is only 28” inches, the dish reflector itself is 39” wide,
we recommend a minimum of 1 inch tolerance on each side for stowing.
Try to be generous in the amount of space you
can put between the dish and any obstacle it
may contact. When raised, the dish arm will
be high enough to rotate over most items. Be
watchful of radio antennas in the path of the
Azimuth rotation. Antennas should be
repositioned on the roof rather than the dish
swing into it.
When stowed, the dish is 13” high by 48” long by 39” wide. Note that the recommended
requirements in the previous give you about a inch clearance.
WARNING – This unit uses a compass to find the satellite. Before installation, scan the intended area of the
installation with a compass to verify that there are no interfering magnetic fields. (i.e. a speaker, air
Conditioning (turned on), electrical wiring, heaters, etc). The compass should point north, no matter where it is
placed, on the surface of the intended area of installation."

Normally this is inside of a cabinet, but there are numerous locations. Remember where the cable enters the vehicle
may not be the location of where the dish is mounted. All MAGELLAN systems come with 50’ of cable. To avoid
