4 - 1 STEP 1 : Where to install ?
To get optimum results, please call a professional installer for your antenna installation.
B fore installing your antenna, please check MINISAT box contains all the items listed above in the
‘Box Content’. In the event of any missing parts, please contact your distributor.
In order to receive a signal from the Satellite, MINISAT is to be installed in an open loop space
(outside the house or the apartment), in the direction of the satellite towards the equator, for which,
you will need a compass to know the satellite orientation.
The final setting will be done with a measurement device by your installer.
Note
Please take reference to the table of the Azimuth angles specified in the back pages of this manual.
Azimuth Angle
Make sure that there are no obstacles in front of MINISAT which can decrease the signal reception
quality, such as buildings or trees (you may keep in mind that trees will grow and may block the
signal).
In order to be able to fix and install your antenna easily, you might choose an easily accessible
place without any potential danger for installation.
Think about the way you might pass your cable(s) from MINISAT to your Set top Box. The antenna
should not be too distant from your satellite receiver; a cable longer than 30 meters may decrease
the quality of the signal.
