Plan the entire installation first!
To avoid mistakes or damages to the boat or satellite
tracking system, please read the installation instructions carefully before starting the
installation.
2.3 Selecting location
The best location for the TV-antenna is a raised position on your ship. Thus, the needed
unobstructed view from the antenna to the satellite with the respective elevation angle can
be established. In order not to affect the picture quality or not to damage the antenna, please
observe the minimum distance of 8-12ft. (2-3 meters) to the radar equipment and other
transmitting antennas! That includes mobile communication units! If there is a radar
antenna, the ideal location to mount the antenna will be right above the radar antenna. Please
also note that a strong mounting surface is needed and please avoid direct waves and bilge
water on the radome. For further details see chapters 2.4 – 2.9.
