Anti-theft protection
The CAP 500M is equipped with a mechanical anti-theft protection. Simply use the anti-theft fi xture (see
„Parts description“ on
page 6
) to chain the unit to a suitable fi xed object (e.g. caravan/mobile home, tree, lamppost).
The CAP 500M is supplied with power, as soon as the receiver/TV set is switched on. The antenna will fi rst check (for
about 5 seconds), whether a TV signal is already available. This is the case if you have not moved the antenna since last
using it. The antenna will still be aligned to Astra 19.2° East.
If the CAP 500M does not receive a TV signal, the system will automatically start searching for Astra 19.2° East.
The duration of the search depends primarily on the distance between the last and the current location of operation. The
greater the distance, the longer the search takes.
Switching off the receiver/TV set automatically disconnects the CAP 500M from the power supply. The current alignment
of the antenna is retained.
If you move the antenna during TV reception or change its position, you must restart the receiver/TV set so that the
antenna automatically aligns to Astra 19.2° East again.
There are a number of causes that can aff ect the signal quality or system operation. If you get a poor or no signal on your
TV, proceed as follows:
■
Check the connections on the receiver/TV set and on the CAP 500M
■
Make sure that the satellite antenna has a clear view of the satellite (to the south)
■
Switch off the receiver/TV set and switch it on again

Dimensions and technical data
Dimensions
The footprint is the reception area on earth which a satel-
lite covers with its transmission beam (spot) and in which
satellite reception is possible. The transmission power
is at its highest in the centre of this spot, and it becomes
progressively weaker towards the edges.
