1-1. Introduction These instructions describe the functions and operation of the portable satellite antenna system. Correct and safe operation of the system can only be ensured by following these instructions. Your antenna is an intelligent satellite TV reception antenna system which can align itself towards a preset satellite automatically as long as the system is located within the footprint of the selected satellite. For general operation, please ensure that the system always has a clear view to the sky. If the satellite‘s signal beam is interrupted by obstacles such as mountains, buildings or trees, the product will not function and no TV signal will be received. 1-2. Where to install? In order to receive a signal from the Satellite, the product has to be installed in an open space the direction of the satellite towards the equator. Make sure that there are no obstacles in front of the product which can decrease the signal reception quality, such as buildings or trees.

Signal loss / Rain Fade The satellite signal may be lost temporarily due to unusually heavy rainfall. An optimally aligned antenna, along with the shortest possible cable run, minimizes the chances of “rain fade”. 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. Bad Quality Singnal Reception BAD!BAD! Good Quality Singnal Reception

1-3. Safety notes Before using this product, please read this manual carefully and follow all the installation, mounting & orientation instructions correctly. All the instructions should be followed in order to avoid any technical problems. Please also note the following instructions from the manufacturer : Do not open the cover, any attempt to repair by a non-qualied person can be dangerous and void the warranty. Do not make any holes on the plastic antenna cover to prevent from water penetra- tion. When handling the antenna, please do it carefully as any impact might cause damage to the electronics. Any electric or magnetic eld close to the antenna may cause a bad reception or even cut o the signal completely. Do not paint or add any substance on the antenna cover, this will block the reception of the signal from the satellite. The use non-isolated jacks will result in a loss of the signal level. Be careful when connecting or disconnecting the antenna cable. Using it in an abnor- mal condition or pulling it by force may damage the product or the cable. Before moving the product, turn o the power and disconnect all connected cables. This may damage the product, fall over the connection line and get injured. Install the product in a suitable location (at surface or on a level surface where the product can be placed reliably) depending on installation environment. If not, this may damage the product or cause an accident. Any obstacle (buildings, trees, etc....) will block the reception of the signal from the satellite to the antenna. For more precise details on the above points or for any information, please ask your retailer or customer service.ENGLISH - 4

3-1. Coverage There might be restrictions on receiving broadcasting depending on the area and target satellite. There is a dierence in the best skew angle for a target satellite according to the region. Default skew angle is -5 degrees.

-30ENGLISH - 7 By adjusting the skew angle to match the target satellite, more channels can be received Example : In case of changing to Tours, France for receiving Eutelsat 5W from the default setting 3-2. Skew adjustment Skew adjustment in this product includes the process of removing the case. As there would be limitation on the warranty for products with damaged seal label, please contact your dealer before proceeding.

Check the skew angle of the target satellite (Skew angle in Tours, France is about +7 degree. Refer to page 6) Disassemble the cover and check the LNB angle (The default setting is -5 degree) Slightly loosen the screws fixing LNB and adjust the LNB to scale, then tighten the screws again Operate the product and confirm that Eutelsat 5W is received. (It will be easy to check the satellite's signal quality on STB with turning the LNB little by little.) Re-assemble the cover Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5.ENGLISH - 8

4-1. Connection diagram ※ Extra connectionfor twin outputs There is one cable connection from the main unit to the controller Use signal cable to connect the controller and the cable running out from the main unit Use STB cable (the shortest cable) to connect the controller and STB For automatic satellite search, rst [Contoller] output should be connected to the controller. Second [Receiver] output should be connected to second STB directly Please use the correct cable for the job Please ensure the provided cables are used and not modied in anyway
