4 OPERATION
IMPORTANT!
Plug in power supply last.
Do not move antenna unit after
plugging in power supply as the
antenna has begun scanning.
PLEASE BE PATIENT!
The antenna unit may lock on the satellite in as little as 2 minutes,
but may occasionally take up to 10-15 minutes.
IMPORTANT!
Place power injector in
an accessible location.
IMPORTANT!
Any tall objects can block
the signal from reaching
the antenna.
Do not over tighten the coax connections.
Do not route the coax cable where it can be tripped on or run over by a vehicle.
Do not put sharp bends or kinks in the coax cable.
Place the antenna unit in a position with a clear view of
the southern sky to scan for the DIRECTV 101 satellite.
Make connections 1-3 in the order shown.
Place the KING Quest on a stable and reasonably level surface with a clear view of the southern sky.
When placing the KING Quest in position, be sure surface is dry and free of loose dirt or sand.
When all connections are made, the antenna unit will scan for the DIRECTV 101 satellite.
When the satellite is found, your programming will appear. Enjoy!
The KING Quest is not programmed to lock on the 119 satellite, so you will not receive your local channels if they
are broadcast from the 119. If you wish to receive programming from the 119 as well as the 101, you can replace
the power injector with the KING UC1000 Controller (sold separately - see your dealer or our website
www.kingconnect.com for details.)

You can connect a second receiver and TV to the AUX port on the antenna unit.
5 USING A SECOND RECEIVER
Second receiver must be congured the same as
the main receiver (see Section 3, page 3).
Second receiver must not be a SWM only receiver.
If your main receiver has a second “satellite in” port and built in DVR, you can connect this input to the AUX
port to record programs on a different channel than the one you are watching.
All components sold
separately.
If you wish to start a new scan (for example, the unit gets moved and you lose reception):
Pressing the power injector’s RESET button is the preferred method to start a new scan, but there are two
alternate methods as well:
• Disconnect and reconnect the coax from the MAIN port on the antenna unit.
• Press the RESET button on the receiver (this option works for select receivers only, such as
models D12, H24, and HR24).

6 ROOF INSTALLATION
1. Make sure you have the following tools and materials before starting.
ANTENNA UNIT LOCATION (See Illustration on next page)
2. Select an area on the roof for the antenna unit and the location where the wiring will enter the
vehicle through the roof to the satellite receiver inside using the following criteria:
• A shorter distance between the antenna unit and the satellite receiver is most desirable.
• Make sure you have enough room to mount the antenna unit.
• The antenna unit should be mounted on the center line of the vehicle, and not tilted more
than 2 degrees in any direction.
• There must be no “line of sight” obstructions. Air conditioning units, other antennas, and
storage areas that are too close to the antenna unit may prevent the satellite signal from
reaching the antenna unit.
• Mount the antenna unit with the handle to rear of the vehicle.
NOTE: Many RVs are prewired with RG-6 coax cable for satellite antennas. Contact the manufacturer of your RV or
your local RV dealer to verify where this cable is located.
If prewired, run the existing coax cable from the prewire location in the roof to the antenna unit. When
choosing the antenna unit location, make sure the prewiring will reach the antenna unit.

3. If the rubber feet have been installed,
lay the unit on a soft, non-scratching surface
and remove them from the bottom of the unit.
DO NOT INSTALL UNIT ON ROOF
WITH RUBBER FEET IN PLACE.
4. Mount the antenna unit using the
(4) mounting holes. Make sure to
seal mounting holes with roof
compatible sealant.
5. Connect one end of 50 foot coax cable to the MAIN port and tighten connection (see below).
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
If using a second receiver, connect end of second coax (sold separately) to the AUX port.
Tighten connection. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
NOTE: The installer is responsible for determining the most appropriate fastener to secure the antenna unit to the roof.
Depending on the roof material, fasteners such as lag screws, well nuts, sheet metal screws, toggle bolts and T
anchors may be used, and should always be used in combination with a roof compatible sealant.
IMPORTANT! The installer is responsible for weatherproong all holes with sealant.
NOTE: There are two coax ports on the back of the antenna unit. The one labeled “MAIN” MUST be connected to the
main receiver in vehicle. The one labeled “AUX” can be used for an additional receiver if desired.
For roof mounting, do not apply the rubber feet.
If present, remove rubber feet.
MOUNTING TO ROOF
WITH RUBBER FEET VOIDS WARRANTY.
IMPORTANT!
Coax connections should be snug.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!

6. Run coax from the antenna unit to the roof edge, then along edge to location where coax will
be fed into the vehicle. If installing an optional second receiver, run second coax to location
where it will enter the vehicle. Secure (both) coax to roof every 12-18 inches (see below).
7. Drill 3/4” hole through the roof and into the cabinet where receiver is stored. Feed coax down
through hole. Seal opening with roof compatible sealant so that it is completely waterproof
(inside and outside of the 3/4” hole). Repeat for second coax if present.
8. Inside vehicle, make connections 1-3 in order shown below.
You can cut the coax to length but you must
terminate the coax with Snap-n-Seal Connectors.
IMPORTANT!
Plug in power supply last.
Antenna begins scanning when
power supply is connected.
IMPORTANT!
Place power injector in a convenient
and accessible location.
AUX coax connects directly to second receiver (see page 5).
Do not over tighten the coax connections.
Do not put sharp bends or kinks in the coax cable.
IMPORTANT!
Roof hole(s) for wiring must be sealed
so they are completely waterproof.
Sealant must be roof compatible.
