Intended Use

Intended Use

The MobiSet 3 CAP 750 is designed to receive digital TV and radio channels via satellite. The automatic positioner is 
intended to be used as a turntable for the Kathrein satellite dish.
The turntable can be used to receive digital TV and radio signals in the frequency range from 10.70 to 12.75 GHz; the 
antenna cannot receive terrestrial signals (e.g. DVB-T).

The MobiSet 3

 

CAP 750 offers a receiver-independent solution and can be used with any SAT compliant end device. The 

CAP converter takes over the communication and control of the system and converts signals received by the end device 
to CAP compliant signals. This way, it provides for the fully automatic alignment of the satellite dish to receiver digital 
satellite signals. 
The turntable is designed for use on stationary caravans or motor homes.

Any use other than that specified above will invalidate the warranty or guarantee.

The following circumstances result in the loss of all warranty and liability claims towards the manufacturer:

 

improper

 

installation

 

use of non-specified mounting materials, which cannot guarantee the mechanical reliability of the antenna system

 

Impermissible use, e.g. use of the reflector dish for storage

 

structural changes or interference with the components and mounting accessories in the set, which could endanger 
both the mechanical and functional reliability

 

improper or forcible opening of the components

 

use of cleaners containing solvents, such as acetone, nitro-cellulose thinners, petrol, etc.

 

failure to observe installation and safety instructions in this manual
