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.
- 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 (Fig. 4).
