[. . . ] Do Handle the antenna with care as any impact will cause damage to the electronics. not open the cover, any attempt to repair by a non-qualified person can be dangerous Do and void the warranty. Any obstacle (buildings, trees, etc. ) will block the reception of the signal from the satellite to the antenna. not paint or add any substance on the antenna cover, this will block the reception of Do the signal from the satellite. [. . . ] If you can't find your location, please refer to the information of the place nearest to your location. This manual will show you the installation example for the reception of ASTRA1 satellite in Brest region of France. The angle information for Brest region is Skew: -19. 7º El: 30º Az: 149. 6º Part Assembly 1. fixing the Skew (Joint of Angle Bracket and Antenna Body) Join the Angle Bracket and Antenna Body with the supplied screw and adjust the skew angle to -19. 7 Check ­ 2. fixing the Elevation (Joint of Antenna Body and Main Support) For the purpose of delicate adjustment of the elevation and azimuth angle, please don't fix the bolt and nut tightly. 4 PART 1 · English Check 30 3. installation of fixing Bracket A When installing Fixing Bracket A (B3), please consider the place of installation (clamp type, wall mounting type). In order to support the weight of the antenna, nut (N1) should be fixed as tightly as possible. Please purchase the anchor bolt for wall mounting installation separately. Joining of the Antenna Body and fixing Bracket A (B3) Join the assembled Antenna Body and Fixing Bracket A. In order to support the weight of the antenna, nut (N1) should be fixed as tightly as possible. 5 English PART 1 · English Wall 3. 3 Step 3: Connecting the Antenna and the Set top box Once you have installed the antenna in an open loop space and mounted the way you want it to be the next step is to connect it all together. In order to be able to watch your favourite satellite programs, you need to connect your satellite antenna to a receiver by a cable. The cable between the antenna and the Satellite receiver should not exceed 30m as it will decrease the quality of the signal. The use of a long or bad quality cable and not isolated jacks can cause a loss of the signal level, it would be preferable to use an RG6 Coaxial cable (HF 17VATC or 19VATC cable), in order to minimise a signal loss. Connector cover one side to Antenna other side to Receiver f-connector Cable it is important that the coaxial cable does not become damaged or kinked during the installation procedure. 3. 4 Step 4: fine Tuning and fixing the Bracket Once fine tuning for signal reception is completed, please tighten all bolts and nuts. 6 PART 1 · English Once all connections are made, turn on the TV and the satellite receiver, select the Antenna Pointing Menu on your receiver and check the signal level on your TV. Someone will need to stay in front of the TV to tell you when the signal is "good" while you're outside adjusting the antenna the best way possible. The signal level and quality is indicated on the TV screen and will fluctuate and change colour according to the adjustment & movement of the antenna while you are pointing & finding (azimuth, elevation angle). The level indicates the power of the signal and the colour indicates the signal reception quality from the chosen satellite. 4. 0 TRoUBLEShooTiNg ChECk LiST foR iNiTiAL iNSTALLATioN If the signal is not found, be sure the receiver user manual and the antenna user manual have been followed closely, check the following: Make sure all cable connections are correct and each connection is seated / tightened properly. Inspect the inside of each cable connector for dirt or possible connector to case / shield short. Verify the Azimuth, Elevation and Tilt angles for your location by ZIP code. sure the Tilt and Elevation pointers are aligned correctly to the scales. Make sure the Tilt adjustment is not changed from the recommended settings for the antenna location. [. . . ] An optimal alighted antenna, along with the shortest possible cable run, minimizes the chances of "rain fade". Make sure the antenna is mounted securely to prevent it from being blown out of alignment in a heavy wind. Heavy snow accumulation on the antenna may reduce the satellite signal strength; snow should be swept away as soon as possible. Tree foliage growth into antenna's line-of-sight to the satellite may result in gradual loss of picture. 6. 0 iNSTALLATioN USiNg LoNg CABLE For installations where the RG 6 cables run from the receiver(s) to the LNB far exceeds 100 feet (150 feet or more), as encountered in a commercial or multi-dwelling building, you need to use an AC power booster module to bias the LNB.
