Please also note the following instructions from the manufacturer :

1. General Information

1-1. Introduction These instructions describe the functions and operation of the SNIPE DISH satellite system. Correct and safe operation of the system can only be ensured by following these instructions. Your SNIPE DISH 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 unit will not function and no TV signal will be received. 1-2. Proper use and operation This product has been designed for xed installation on vehicles with maximum speeds of 130 km/h. It is designed to automatically aim an antenna at geostationary television satellites. The power to the system is supplied by a standard vehicle electrical system with a rated voltage of 12 Volts DC. Use of the equipment for any other purpose to the one specied is not permitted. It is not permitted to change the overall device by removing or adding individual components. The use of any other parabolic reectors or LNBs to those originally installed is not allowed. Installation must only be performed by suciently qualied personnel. All instructions in the supplied Installation instructions, which is separately provided, must be carefully followed. The product does not require any regular maintenance. Housings and enclosures must not be opened. Check and maintenance work should always be carried out by a qualied specialist. All of the relevant and approved guidelines of the automotive industry must be observed and complied with. The equipment must only be installed on hard vehicle roofs. Avoid cleaning your vehicle with the mounted satellite system in a single-bay or drive- through car wash or with a high-pressure cleaner. In case of storm or strong winds, bring the antenna down.ENGLISH - 3 1-3. Safety notes In order to ensure that your SNIPE DISH works properly you must ensure that it is following by the Operating Instructions in this manual and used as intended purpose. When it is correctly installed, the antenna automatically assumes the rest position when the ignition is switched on and locks itself. The driver of the vehicle must inspect the antenna unit before driving o to ensure that the antenna is properly stored in safe. Check with your naked eye to see if the antenna is fully folded. As the user of this equipment, you are responsible for yourself ensuring compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. The manufacturer does not take liability for direct or indirect consequential damage of the system, motor vehicles or other equipment by reason of unsuitable battery usage or erroneous installation or wrong wire connection.ENGLISH - 4

Additional STB can display the selected satellite channels at main STB and it cannot select or change the satellite. Main STB which is connected via controller is only supportive DiSEqC function.

Use controller cable to connect the antenna to the controller. Controller cable is pre-connected to the main body STB cable and signal cable have dierent lengths. Please check the lengths to use the correct cable for the job Please ensure the supplied cables are used and not modied in anyway

For SNIPE DISH standard models only. No need for Auto skew models.

The LNB at the end of the satellite picks up either horizontal or vertical signal. To change horizontal to vertical signal, turn the LNB as 90° (vice versa). Skew adjustment is required according to target satellites and regions. For the best signal quality, adjust skew by referring to the below images. Accuracy is not important, so small tolerance will be acceptable. It will be easy to check the satellite's signal quality on STB with turning the LNB little by little.

Go to the target satellite using arrow buttons and press SET to search Lock LED blinks during searching process and becomes solid when the target satellite is locked

If wrong satellite is selected, move to the correct satellite and press SET to conrm the new satellite After use or before travelling, press HOME for HOME positioning The default setting for DiSEqC is ON, DiSEqC LED is on. To switch the function ON/OFF, make sure that antenna is at HOME and press DiSEqC button for 2 seconds. (See also DiSEqC LED status changes between ON and OFF.) For DiSEqC operating of the antenna, STB has to have matching satellite list as SNIPE DISH’s pre-set list. User needs to assign satellites in same order (#1~12 in the above table) at STB’s DiSEqC setting to be ready for DiSEqC function use.

Ensure that the unit is turned o Press and hold Right Arrow button and turn on the Power button When HOME LED becomes solid this means the function change is nished (If the antenna is not at HOME, HOME LED blinks while coming back HOME) 6-5. Power save mode

While antenna is at HOME, antenna turns o automatically if there is no input from controller for 15 minutes Press POWER button to turn on for operating again STB Power Detection On(●) / O(○) **The function has to be On while STB is On/O. When STB power detection (Lock LED) is ON,

STB which is connected controller should be on for operating antenna If STB is turned o while antenna is operating, antenna goes back to HOME and do not operate If STB is turned o, the antenna does not operate despite the controller SET button is pressed When STB power detection (Lock LED) is OFF, - Antenna is operated with controller regardless of STB’s power stateENGLISH - 18

Do not place inside a folder Ensure that the unit is turned o and plug the USB into USB port Press and hold SET button and turn on the Power button HOME / Lock / DiSEqC LEDs blink together while checking upgrade leENGLISH - 19 ※ If upgrade or factory reset is applied, all stored data will be removed. 7-4. Manual satellite update function a. Press the next satellite of the satellite with an error to search

For Turksat, Astra 2 is only the option For Hispasat, Eutelsat 5W is the only option For the rest satellites, each has two options on both side d. If update is failed, antenna goes back to HOME position

Select the another option of next satellites and proceed update as the above procedure again If second trial is failed, check the manual for software upgrade b. Once the next selected satellite is found (locked), go to the satellite with an error and press SET button longer than 2 seconds - Make sure that Lock LED blinks quicker than per second while update If the button is pressed less than 2 seconds, Lock LED blinks as normal operation In case there is specic satellite with an error, update satellite information manually with the below instruction. c. If update is succeeded, all satellite LEDs blink twice and automatically start to search the satellite ※ Use FAT32 format USB only. ※ CBI type USB is not supported.

Software upgrade takes about 10 seconds When the upgrade is completed, all Satellite LEDs ash once, then HOME / Lock / DiSEqC LED is o, controller is rebooted When HOME LED becomes solid this means the antenna is ready to operate h. If upgrade is failed, HOME / Lock / DiSEqC LEDs blink 5 times and back to the previous system For example :ENGLISH - 20 There are a number of common issues that can aect the signal reception quality or the operation of the unit. The following sections address these issues and potential solutions.

Connection between the power and controller. Connection between the controller and antenna. Make sure that the left port of the antenna is connected to the controller. Check if the power input cable has been damaged. Check the battery polarities (+/-). ii. iii. Select another satellite if this locks then select your desired satellite. Turn the unit o and then back on again and select desired satellite. ii. iii.

A. No function when power on the controller Check again all the cable connections have been made correctly. C. Mechanical problems

Try to power OFF/ON again. If the antenna does not move into desired position. ii. Try to power OFF/ON again. If problem persists, please contact local dealer/shop for assistance. If the antenna makes a noise while remaining static.

B. Fail to search the selected satellite Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings, trees. Make sure there are no obstructions in a southward direction.

D. Other issues If the system has been improperly wired, it will not operate properly. Contact local dealer/shop for assistance of cable damage.ENGLISH - 21
