Before you begin, consider the following antenna
installation guidelines.
• Minimize blockage. The antenna requires a
clear view of the sky to receive satellite TV
(see Figure 3). The fewer obstructions, the
better the system will perform.
• Consider the distance between your antenna
and any radar. KVH requires that you do not
mount the antenna on the same level as the
radar because the radar’s energy may
damage the LNB. Most radar transmitters
emit RF energy within an elevation range of
-15º to +15º (see Figure 4). Therefore, mount
the antenna outside of this elevation range
and at least 3 ft (1 m) away from the radar.
Be sure to follow the guidelines below.
Damage caused by an improper installation is
not covered under KVH warranty.

Never place the antenna in the beam path of
the radar, regardless of distance. The radar’s
energy may damage the antenna or impair its
performance.
