1.0 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a portable satellite antenna from California Digital. It was
designed to be a rugged, transportable unit for remote field service. It has been designed to
handle rough environments, while providing fast, easy setup and disassembly.
The unit is designed to be shipped as air freight/cargo or by common ground carrier. The
case features heavy duty wheeled casters which allow for easy handling and maneuverability from
the freight dock to local ground transportation service. The unit has been designed to fit into most
common mini-vans and pickup trucks. The complete antenna case with equipment weights
approximately 192 pounds and is readily handled by two persons using the fold away case
handles.
The antenna is designed to be assembled in less than ten minutes without tools.
Hardware interconnections include large diameter nuts, wing nuts, and thumb screws, none of
which require excessive tightening. Most of the hardware items are common elements which
are readily available from local suppliers and hardware stores. This was done to allow quick
and easy replacement of small pieces which may be lost or damaged, without the need to
contact California Digital for spares or replacements. This should save both time and money.
