INSTALLATION

Before proceeding with the installation, please
respect the following guidelines:
- please remember that the best position for the
satellite TV antenna is in the middle of the boat,
in the lowest possible position.
- minimize obstruction. The antenna requires a
clear view of the sky in order to receive satellite
TV signals. The fewer the obstacles, the better
the system operation.
Any foreign body (flags, antennas, radar anten-
nas, sailboat masts, cranes, bridges, etc.)
between the antenna and the satellite obstructs
the signal and prevents correct receipt.
- make sure that the mounting surface is wide
enough for the antenna base to be installed.
- make sure that the mounting surface is resistant
and rigid enough to support the weight of the
antenna and the vibrations which could occur.
- we recommend not to install the antenna at the
same level of the radar, as the radar's energy
could damage the antenna. The antenna should
be positioned at a distance of at least 1.5 m from
the other transmitting antennas (VHF, radar).
Obstructed signal!

- do not install the antenna near speakers or mag-
netic sources. In case it is not possible, it is nec-
essary to compensate the magnetic source,
paying attention not to interfere with the on-board
compass.
- the antenna requires a lifting angle between 5°
and 90° to receive satellite signals.
- please also consider the position of the antenna
with respect to the position of all various attach-
ments or wiring harnesses inside the boat.
- the control unit should be mounted in a conven-
ient position for the adjusting operations. It
should be near the receiver/TV-set unit, so that
the TV screen may be watched while carrying out
the operations on the control unit.
