Tips on the best use of Flat Sat Elegance
When you park your vehicle, make sure that:
1) No obstacle (for example trees) is too near your antenna, preventing it from moving freely.
No metal or glass wall is very near (about 5 m) the antenna, since this would act as a mirror
for satellite signals and could induce the antenna to stop towards it.
2) Remove any snow or ice from the Flat Sat Elegance before actuating it in order to avoid
wasting battery power.
3) If you decide to turn the engine of your vehicle on in order to re-charge its batteries, with
the safety cable connected to the ignition key, the antenna, if lifted, will come down automatically
and it will not be possible to lift it again as long as the engine is running.
4) Make sure that your batteries are always sufficiently charged, since, if the voltage falls
below 10 Volts, the Flat Sat Elegance electronic safety circuit will prevent the antenna from
rising.
5) Should you use 12 Volt power supply instead of batteries, be careful to use stabilized
power supply being able to provide 5 A continuously and at least 10 A for short periods. At
all costs, avoid using low quality, non stabilized battery chargers.
6) It is recommended not to use the antenna under strong wind conditions (80 km/h).
Failure to comply with this condition may result in product degradation which the
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for.
7) Antenna closing operations, whether by user's control or automatically for vehicle
start-up, require variable time.
Before starting the vehicle, always make sure that the antenna is fully closed.
* The manufacturer declines any liability for all degradations suffered by the product
owing to misuse.
