“Instant On” Operation:
As part of operation, the satellite routinely
saves its position to memory. When turned on,
the system looks at the last saved position. If
the motorhome has not changed location, the
antenna will immediately acquire the signal.
If the motorhome moves after the system is
turned off, the antenna will quickly carry out
normal initialization
routine to re-acquire
the satellite. To turn the
system off, press the
Power button.
NOTE
It is highly
recommended that
the system be turned
OFF prior to moving
the motorhome. The
system will not track a satellite while the
motorhome is in motion.
The system requires the following preventive
maintenance for optimum performance.
Maintenance
Monthly:
Wash the exterior of the radome and base
plate assembly with fresh water; a mild
detergent may be added to remove grime.
DO NOT spray the radome directly with
high-pressure water.
DO NOT apply abrasive cleaners or
volatile solvents, such as acetone, to the
ABS dome.


Annually:
Have the satellite system inspected by a
professional RV Technician or satellite
installer.
Apply full strength liquid dish detergent
to the dome surface and allow it to dry.
This treatment provides a film on the
dome surface that will allow moisture to
bead up and roll off.
NOTE
If a need arises to paint the radome,
ONLY use non-metallic automotive
paint to avoid degrading the RF signal
strength and the reception quality.
INFORMATION
For information on warranty, repair,
and liability policies, refer to the
complete warranty statement provided
with the OEM Manual.
NOTE
For optimum signal strength, keep
the dome clean from dirt, bugs and
other debris. Periodic washing of the
dome with mild soap and water is
recommended. If the motorhome is
to be stored for long periods of time
it is recommended that the system be
put through a search procedure on a
quarterly basis to keep all moving parts
in good working order.
