Winegard RTS-80B Manuel D’Utilisation

1.  Connect the coax cable coming from the antenna to 

the “SATELLITE IN” input on the primary receiver. The 

primary receiver is the receiver used most often and 

will toggle between satellites.
2.  Connect the secondary coax cable coming from the 

antenna to the “SATELLITE IN” input on the secondary 

receiver. 

3. See page 6 for receiver set-up. 

 

1. Connect the coax cable from the antenna to the
“SATELLITE IN” on the receiver. 
2. See page 6 for receiver set-up. 

1. Choose a location to install the RoadTrip Minimax 

power ON/OFF switch. Remember when selecting 

a location, 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 7 below.

Wall or panel mount: Drill 1-1/4” hole, pull wires 

through wall or panel.

2.  Connect the ground wire from the vehicle and the 

BLACK ground wire from the antenna together, using 

large yellow flag connector.
3.  Connect the YELLOW flag connector to  

 

the switch shown in figure 7 below.
4.  Connect the RED wire from the antenna to the  

small RED flag connector.
5.  Connect small RED flag connector to the switch as 

shown in Figure 7 below.
6.  Connect the +12 V power wire from the vehicle to  

a small RED flag connector.
7.  Connect small RED flag connector to isolated  

  spade on switch. 

Note: During the RoadTrip Minimax antenna’s normal 

search process, you may hear a slight grinding sound 

as the unit checks its limits. This is normal and does not 

harm the unit.

1.  Turn  on  receiver  and  television  set. The  RoadTrip 

Minimax antenna must be connected to a receiver that 

is plugged into 120 VAC.
2.  Verify that you are getting the receiver’s menu screens 

on the television. These screens are available with or 

without the dish finding the signal.
3. Turn the power switch on for the RoadTrip Minimax

 

antenna. The dish will detect if it is already on a satellite 

signal. If it detects a signal, the dish will move to check 

it’s alternate satellite and then move back to the original 

satellite signal that is on.
4. If no signal was detected, the dish will begin its search 

to locate the primary satellite. Once the dish locates a 

signal, it will pause long enough to identify which satellite 

it has located. This may or may not be visible on your 

receiver’s point dish screen.
5.  After the unit has verified that it has the correct satel-

lite, it will move to check the alternate satellite and move 

back  to  the  primary  satellite  to  complete  the  search 

routine.
6. If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting,
