FCC and INDUSTRY CANADA INFORMATION TO THE USER:
The FCC and Industry Canada have imposed the following conditions when operating, installing
and deploying iNetVu® Mobile Earth Stations and is mandatory for all installations made within
the Continental United States and Canada as well as Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands and other U.S. Territories. The FCC requires that a certified installer perform the
installation. It is also strongly recommended that a qualified professional RV dealer/installer
mount the system on your vehicle. These conditions are also required by C-COM for all other
installed locations.
All iNetVu® Mobile earth station installers must be C-COM Certified, and must have specifically
acknowledged the requirements for iNetVu® Mobile installations, which are as follows:
1. “Installation” is the physical mounting and wiring of the Satellite provider’s earth station
on a vehicle or other stationary site in order to prepare for correct operation. Only
Certified C-COM iNetVu installers may perform the installation and removal of an
iNetVu® Mobile system.
2. “Deployment” means the raising, pointing and orienting of the earth station to the
communicating satellite, every time it is raised from a stowed position for use. The
deployment of an iNetVu® Mobile system must only be done by a trained installer or by a
consumer using the deployment software.
3. Installers shall install the iNetVu® systems only in locations that are not readily
accessible to children and in a manner that prevents human exposure to potential
radiation hazards.
4. For large vehicles with roof mounts, the height of the bottom lip of the earth station when
fully deployed must be at least six feet above the ground at all times, or six feet above a
surrounding surface which a person may easily access.
5. If a roof access ladder or any other means of access to the roof is installed on the
vehicle, then the ladder or access must be blocked by a suitable rope or other barrier
while the earth station is deployed or in operation. The installer must provide this rope
or barrier directly to the end user at the time of installation and advise the user to use it
at all times when the earth station is deployed or in operation. Warning signs shall also
be provided by the installer to the end user to be posted on the improper installation or
due to the failure to provide required information to the end user.
6. Installers and end users will be deemed directly liable for any damages resulting from
either of their failure to comply with the above rules. These rules are meant to ensure
that extraordinary precautions and measures are used to prevent satellite interference or
exposure to harmful radiation. C-COM reserves the rights to immediately suspend
without liability or previous notice the operation of the earth station upon detection of
a deviation from its installation or operational requirements until the deviation is
corrected. In addition, C-COM reserves the right to suspend or cancel the Installer
Certificate of any installer that has not fully complied with these installation requirements.

any change undertaken by either of them. Including but not limited to, any modification of
any part of the hardware, software, specific operational frequencies, the authorized
satellite, or the size or other characteristics of the earth station supplied to them by CCOM or C-COM’s authorized representatives. Warning signs shall be posted at
prominent locations on the earth station informing all persons of the danger of harmful
radiation from the earth station while it is deployed or while in operation.
8. The iNetVu® Mobile system may only be operated when the vehicle is stationary.
9. The installer must inform the end user that the vehicle must be stabilized during the
transmission, to prevent movement of the vehicle for any reason, including movement of
persons on or off the vehicle, or high winds. The installer shall advise the end user how
to appropriately stabilize their vehicle.
10. Installers shall be liable for all damages if they fail to comply with the above mandatory
conditions. This includes, but is not limited to damages caused by improper installation
or due to the failure to provide required information to the end user.

Fig. 1: iNetVu® 7710 Controller
Fig. 2: iNetVu® 7720 Controller
The iNetVu® 7710 Controllers are fully functional and configurable straight out of the box solution.
No PC or monitor required. An I/O GLONASS/GPS Module inside the 7720 module and the
capability to connect an external GLONASS/GPS device via serial port, a DVB-S2ACM/CCM
Tuner, an onboard LCD displaying real-time system status, and a Keypad Navigator, makes it
easy to use the iNetVu® 7710 Controller by simply configuring the controller right from the front
panel.
The iNetVu® 7710 Controllers along with any iNetVu® platform can work as a complete standalone unit. No modem or RF splitters are required for satellite acquisition. The LNB can be
powered straight from the controller.
The 7710 (central board) with the 7720 (remote drive module) Controllers complement the
iNetVu® New Generation systems allowing movement on three axis simultaneously improving
satellite acquisition speed and accuracy.

1 – Real-Time Elevation Angle
E (Elevation) The number value after the “E” represents the real time elevation angle.
D The letter “D” will appear to indicate Down Limit has been reached on the elevation axis
U The letter “U” will appear to indicate UP Limit has been reached on the elevation axis
S The letter S will appear to indicate the Elevation angle has reached the stow position
(Antenna Stowed).
The inclinometer used to read the elevation angle will compensate for an incline up to +/- 15º. For
example if a user is on a 10º slope and the system is searching along the azimuth, if the elevation
reading changes due to a horizontal incline, the elevation will adjust to maintain the correct
elevation angle while searching along the azimuth.
2 – Current and Speed Settings
I/S Real-Time current of the elevation motor is to the left of the dash, and speed constant of
the elevation movement is to the right of the dash (i.e. 0-5 represents current of 0 at a set
speed of 5).
U The letter “U” will appear if there is an up movement on the elevation axis.
D The letter “D” will appear if there is a down movement on the elevation axis.
3 - Search Window Elevation Limit
This value represents the amount of degrees the antenna will point above and below the
calculated target elevation coordinate when searching for satellite. (W: 3 – implies elevation
search window is 3º)

S The letter “S” will appear to indicate the stow Limit has been reached on the azimuth axis
2 – Current and Speed Settings
I/S Real-Time current of the azimuth motor is to the left of the dash, and speed constant of
the azimuth movement is to the right of the dash (i.e. 0-6 represents current of 0 at a set
speed of 6).
L The letter “L” will appear if there is a ‘left’ movement on the azimuth axis.
R The letter “R” will appear if there is a ‘right’ movement on the azimuth axis.
(See appendix for detail on default speed and current settings)
3 - Search Window Azimuth Limit
This value represents the amount of degrees the antenna will search for satellite along the
azimuth axis to the left and right of the calculated target antenna azimuth coordinate when
searching for satellite. (I.e. W: 60 implies 60º search to the left and right of the target antenna
azimuth angle, total range for this example would be 120º)
4 – Compass Offset
This value represents the compass offset value that was added to compensate for inaccuracy of
the compass reading.
