1. Introduction  

 

Read carefully and completely this manual before starting with mounting operations. 
 
 

ATTENTION 

The antenna and the remote control must be  

mounted only by qualified personnel  

 

 

In  order  to  prevent  danger  during  mounting  operations,  during  normal  operation  and  during 
vehicle moving, please observe carefully the information provided in this manual.  
The  correct  execution  of  the  mounting  operations  and  a  correct  cabling  of  the  system  are 
fundamental prerequisites to guarantee conformity with related regulations. 
The system is covered by CE brand and by a conformity declaration, as reported in Chapter 3. 

 

2. Safety instructions  

 

2.1. 

Proper use (for the intended purpose)

  

The i-Sat is designed to receive digital TV and radio programs via satellite. The turntable can be 
used to receive digital TV and radio signals in the frequency range from 10.70 to 12.75GHz. Any 
use other than that specified above will void 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 

  Non-permissible use, e.g. use of the planar antenna 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  combination  thinners, 

degreasers, petrol, etc. 

 

Failure to observe installation and safety instructions in this manual

 

  Breaking of warranty seals 

 

The turntable may be operated in an ambient temperature range of -10 °C to +40 °C. 
Operating the system outside this range may result in malfunctions or damage to the 
system.

 

 

2.2. 

Safety during installation work  

 When carrying out installation work in locations where there is a risk of falling, take 
appropriate  safety  precautions,  e.g.  use  of  a  working  platform.  Make  sure  that  the 
vehicle  roof  is  sufficiently  strong  and  stable to  carry  out  the  installation  work  (risk  of 
damage or collapsing of roof).
