INTERACTIVE SATELLITE TERMINAL.

1. FCC COMPLIANCE

The VELOCITY DataBridge Terminal complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

This device works in combination with an off-set horn-fed dish antenna with a
maximum gain of 39.4 dB

This device has been granted with the following FCC ID: 2AGKM820003-02

Danger: FCC Radio Frequency Exposure Information

In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements, it is
required to maintain a separation distance between the user and the
antenna of 11.76m (antenna main beam) and 27cm (horizontal: -10
degrees off-axis).

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for class

B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

6.2. Setting up the antenna.

Installation of the antenna includes the

following steps:
Step 1: Choosing a suitable location.

Step 2: Mounting the antenna pole.
Step 3: Mounting the antenna.
Step 4: Pointing the antenna.

Do not stand in front of the LNB or the antenna dish during pointing. Keep
the space between the LNB and the antenna dish clear.

6.2.1. Step 1: Choosing a suitable location.

When setting up the antenna base, take account of the
orientation the antenna must have.

The antenna needs a clear, unobstructed view towards the
satellite located at 113W° (without any buildings, trees - that may
block the signal).

Fig.3. Antenna system.

The antenna must have clear line of sight and no obstruction
blocking the path between the antenna and the satellite.
