IMPORTANT NOTE: Many factors beyond TRIO Flatmount’s control and uniquely within user’s knowledge and control can affect the use and performance of a mounting product in a particular application. Given the variety of factors that can affect the use and performance of a TRIO Flatmount product, user is solely responsible for evaluating the product and determining whether it is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for user’s method of application.
__________
Through Bolt:
1. Place TRIO flatmount on top of desired mounting surface. Use a sharp pencil to mark each of the 4 holes onto the surface.
2. Drill through the marks using appropriately sized drill bit (M6 bolts used for gen 3 mounts). If drilling through metal, be sure to file and use a primer/paint to prevent rust from forming on the exposed metal before moving forward.
3. Feed bolts through spaces at each of the 4 feet on the TRIO Flatmount and through the drilled mounting surface. THE TRIO FLATMOUNT LOGO (AND DISH CORD) SHOULD BE POINTED TOWARDS THE BACK (TRAILING EDGE) OF YOUR VEHICLE/BOAT/RV ETC.
4. Slide washer and locknut onto the end of each bolt and tighten using the hex key provided and a wrench.
5. Slide the Starlink dish onto the TRIO Flatmount until it clicks firmly into place and make sure it is secure… and enjoy your internet!
__________
Magnetic Feet:
1. Feed bolts (blue loctite already applied) through spaces at each of the 4 feet on the TRIO Flatmount
2. Thread the screws into the magnets and tighten using the hex key supplied.
3. Slide the Starlink dish onto the TRIO Flatmount until it clicks firmly into place and make sure it is secure
4. Ensure your magnetic surface and the mounting magnets are clean and free of debris
5. Place TRIO flatmount onto magnetic surface and make sure there is good contact. THE TRIO FLATMOUNT LOGO (AND DISH CORD) SHOULD BE POINTED TOWARDS THE BACK (TRAILING EDGE) OF YOUR VEHICLE/BOAT ETC.
6. Enjoy your internet!
**When removing from the vehicle, lift from the rear portion of the mount itself rather than using the dish as a lever.
__________
Magnet & VHB backed magnetic mounting discs:
1. Feed bolts (blue loctite already applied) through spaces at each of the 4 feet on the TRIO Flatmount
2. Thread the screws into the magnets and tighten using the allen key supplied.
3. Attach one VHB backed magnetic mounting disc to each of the magnetic feet, ensuring each are free of debris.
4. PLEASE NOTE: the mounting substrate that your mounting discs will be stuck to should be non-porous and smooth. It is recommended to lightly scuff the surface you will be sticking the VHB discs to using a scotch pad. HOWEVER, do this at your discretion as doing so will scratch the finish of your mounting surface. Use isopropyl alcohol wipes to clean the scuffed surface you wish to secure the VHB mounting discs to.
5. Remove the red VHB sticker cover and carefully place the flat mount with the exposed VHB mounting discs onto the freshly cleaned surface. THE TRIO FLATMOUNT LOGO (AND DISH CORD) SHOULD BE POINTED TOWARDS THE BACK (TRAILING EDGE) OF YOUR VEHICLE/BOAT/RV ETC.
6. Apply firm pressure through the mounting feet to ensure adhesion. If possible, place heavy object on top of the mount for 24 hrs to optimize adhesion (ideal application temperature is 70-100F).
7. Slide the Starlink dish onto the TRIO Flatmount until it clicks firmly into place and make sure it is secure… and enjoy your internet!
**When removing from the vehicle, lift from the rear portion of the mount itself rather than using the dish as a lever.
__________
VHB Landing Pads:
1. Feed bolts (blue loctite already applied) through spaces at each of the 4 feet on the TRIO Flatmount
2. Thread the screws into the landing pads and tighten using the allen key supplied.
3. PLEASE NOTE: the mounting substrate that your landing pads will be stuck to should be non-porous and smooth. It is recommended to lightly scuff the surface you will be sticking the VHB discs to using a scotch pad. HOWEVER, do this at your discretion as doing so will scratch the finish of your mounting surface. Use isopropyl alcohol wipes to clean the scuffed surface you wish to secure the VHB pads onto.
4. Remove the red VHB sticker cover and carefully place the flatmount (with the exposed VHB pads) onto the freshly cleaned surface. THE TRIO FLATMOUNT LOGO (AND DISH CORD) SHOULD BE POINTED TOWARDS THE BACK (TRAILING EDGE) OF YOUR VEHICLE/BOAT/RV ETC.
5. Apply firm pressure through the mounting feet to ensure adhesion. If possible, place heavy object on top of the mount for 24 hrs to optimize adhesion (ideal application temperature is 70-100F).
6. Slide the Starlink dish onto the TRIO Flatmount until it clicks firmly into place and make sure it is secure… and enjoy your internet!
__________
Suction Cups:
1. Feed bolts (blue loctite already applied) through spaces at each of the 4 feet on the TRIO Flatmount
2. Thread the screws into the landing pads and tighten using the allen key supplied.
3. PLEASE NOTE: The mounting substrate that your suction cups will be stuck to should be non-porous, clean, and smooth. Inspect the suction cup to ensure it too is free of dirt and debris.
4. Place the TRIO flatmount with suction cups onto the freshly cleaned surface. THE TRIO FLATMOUNT LOGO (AND DISH CORD) SHOULD BE POINTED TOWARDS THE BACK (TRAILING EDGE) OF YOUR VEHICLE/BOAT ETC.
5. To attach, apply gentle downward pressure on the suction cups to ensure that the entire edge of the cup is touching the surface. Then, simply press the pump repeatedly until the colored indicator band completely disappears.
6. Slide the Starlink dish onto the TRIO Flatmount until it clicks firmly into place and make sure it is secure… and enjoy your internet!
** To remove the cups, lift the edge of the vacuum pad away from the surface by pulling the tab on the edge up and towards the center of the vacuum mount. You’re really just trying to lift the edge of the vacuum pad up off the mounting surface, which breaks the seal and lets you remove your mount.
