Starlink Mounts - Installation Tips

Starlink Mini Magnetic Mount - Ultimate Enclosure


 Installation

  1. Release the rear of the mount by undoing the two screws
  2. Slide the Starlink Mini dish into the mount with cable plug towards the rear
  3. Re-install the rear mount component and secure with the two screws
  4. Plug in power cable
  5. Find a suitable position on the roof of your vehicle and make sure the surface is clean
  6. The magnetic feet are threaded in, so they can be adjusted in and out to give a minimal clearance between the roof ridges and bracket
  7. Watching your fingers, place the mount into position on the vehicle roof, ensuring the magnets are in good contacted with the surface.

Starlink Mini Flat Mount Flush Cover Installation

  1. With a sharp knife, flick off the backing of the double-sided tape on the rear of the cover
  2. Press the cover firmly into the recess above the mini dish

Note: The cover is a very snug fit, and is correctly installed when it is flush the mounts lip.

Starlink Mini and Gen 3 Quick Magnetic Mount

  1. Back out two silver or black retaining screws with a Phillips Head No.1 screwdriver, until flush with the wedge base
  2. Plug in Starlink Dish power cable
  3. Slot wedge into dish firmly, making sure cable runs through the wedge cut-out
  4.  Lightly nip up the two black (or silver) screws until they bottom out on the wedge.

Note: Make certain they are entering the dish wedge retaining slots. This is evident by zero lift of wedge by the screws. Eg the wedge should have no air gaps between it and the dish.

Caution: When mounting to the vehicle, make sure that all 4 magnets are in complete contact with the metallic surface. To remove, lift base from one corner on an angle. Do Not lift by dish. 

Toyota Landcruiser 300 Series Mount Installation

The 300 series mount cantilevers off the lefthand OEM rails on the 300 series Landcruiser. It will fit GX (if rails fitted) GLX series, VX and Sahara models as well as the new Parados. 

It can be installed in both low-profile (recommend for on-road) and high-profile (recommend for off-road) positions on the supplied roof rail brackets.

  1. Release the two Phillip head screws in the rear of the mount. 
  2. Slide the Starlink Mini in with the power connector facing rearwards.
  3. Re-installed the back of the mount with the two Phillip head screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
  4. Position the inside of the rail brackets approximately 210mm apart. Don't tighten just yet. The best position would be to have a bracket forward and aft of the center rail to vehicle attachment point.  This is where you can choose if you want to position the mount in the low or high position simply by turning the lower part of the rail backet inboard for low or outboard for high. (see pictures below)
  5. With the two M8 bolts secure the Starlink Flat Mount to the cut-out slides in the bracket. These slides enable the mount to be position with the nose slightly down, for smooth air flow.
  6. Once the mount and the brackets are all in place, nip all hardware up firm. Note: There is no need to hang off the bolts with a half inch ratchet. Snug will be suffice. 

HOT TIP

You can run the power lead through the back tailgate door by lifting up the dust seal and routing the cable under the rubber. I usually file a small grove in the seal retainer, for the power cord. Add touch up paint, the push the door seal back in place.
