Antenna Reshipping Instructions for
TracVision®R5/R4
The following instructions explain how to repack the TracVision
R5/R4 antenna unit for shipping. The shipping restraints (tie-
wraps) removed during installation must be replaced during this
process.
1. Remove the four plugs from the forward and rear
tie-wrap holes on the bottom of the baseplate.
2. Remove the eight screws securing the radome.
Remove the radome and set it aside.
IMPORTANT!
If you need to return the antenna to
KVH, be sure to obtain an RMA
number from KVH Technical Support
and write the number clearly on the
outside of the box. Shipments
received without an RMA will be
returned to you at your expense.

3. Gently rotate the rotating plate until the LNB is
aligned with the forward mounting plate arrow.
4. Thread one tie-wrap through the rear tie-wrap
holes and through the rotating plate, as shown
below. Fasten the tie-wrap, ensuring the rotating
plate is secured to the baseplate.
When moving the rotating plate by
hand, go slowly! Hitting the
mechanical stops with excessive
force will damage the antenna unit.

5. Thread a second tie-wrap through the forward tie-
wrap holes and over the LNB bracket, as shown in
the figure on page 2. Fasten the tie-wrap, ensuring
the LNB bracket is secured to the baseplate. Be sure
to fasten the tie-wrap to the LNB bracket, and not the
LNB itself.
6. Reinstall the radome.
7. Place the entire antenna unit into its shipping box
using the original packaging material. Secure the
box to a pallet to ensure upright transport.
The repacking process is complete. The TracVision R5/R4 is now
ready for reshipment.
Ensure that the tie-wrap is fastened
to the LNB bracket, and not the LNB.
KVH is not liable for damage caused
by improper shipping.
