1. General Information
1-1. Introduction
These instructions describe the functions and operation of the SNIPE, auto skew satellite
system.
Correct and safe operation of the system can only be ensured by following instruction, both
for installation and operation.
Your SNIPE is an intelligent satellite-TV reception system which can align itself towards a
preset satellite automatically as long as the system is located within the footprint of this
satellite.
Thanks to its innovative technology, SNIPE is easy to mount on almost any motor vehicle.
The SNIPE only occupies requisite space while it performs the necessary adjustments with
the slim and agile antenna body
For general operation, please ensure that the system always has a clear view to the south. In
Europe, all satellites are in an approximate position in the south. If the satellite‘s signal beam
is interrupted by obstacles such as mountains, buildings or trees, the automatic aiming will
not function and no TV signal will be received.
The first few pages of these instructions contain information about using the general
functions of your SNIPE, followed by an explanation of all the adjustment options. The last
pages of the instructions cover various technical aspects of the SNIPE.
