Warning
Antennas improperly installed or installed to an inadequate structure are very susceptible to wind damage. This damage can be very serious or even life threatening. The owner and installer assumes full responsibility that the installation is structurally sound to support all loads (weight, wind & ice) and properly sealed against leaks. The manufacturer will not accept liability for any damage caused by a satellite system due to the many unknown variable applications.
Before using this product please read this manual carefully and follow exactly all installation, mounting & orientation instructions. All the instructions should be followed in order to avoid any technical problems. Any electric or magnetic eld close to the SELFSAT-Traveler Kit may cause a bad reception or even cut o the signal completely. Do not drill the plastic cover of the antenna, which seals the antenna from moisture. Handle the antenna with care as any impact will cause damage to the electronics. Do not open the cover, any attempt to repair by a non-qualied person can be dangerous and void the warranty.
Any obstacle (buildings, trees, etc....) will block the reception of the signal from the satellite to the antenna.
Do not paint or add any substance on the antenna cover, this will block the reception of the signal from the satellite. The cable between the antenna and the Satellite receiver should not exceed 30m as it will decrease the quality of the signal. The use non- isolated jacks will result in a loss of the signal level. Tighten all the screws of the antenna once you have nished the adjustments. This product contains one universal LNB, it is forbidden to add, change or modify the LNB. For more precise details on the above points or for any information, please ask your retailer or customer service.

How to Install?
By following the instructions step by step, you can proceed easily to install SELFSAT­Traveler Kit by yourself or with the help of a professional antenna installer.
Step 1: Where to Install?
In order to receive a signal from the Satellite, SELFSAT-Traveler Kit is to be installed in an open loop space (outside the house or the apartment), in the direction of the satellite towards the equator, for which, you will need a compass to exactly orient SELFSAT-Traveler Kit toward the satellite.
Make sure that there are no obstacles in front of SELFSAT-Traveler Kit which can decrease the signal reception quality, such as buildings or trees (you may keep in mind that trees will grow and may block the signal).
In order to be able to x and install your antenna easily, you might choose an easily accessible place without any potential danger for installation.
Think about the way you might pass your cable in a discreet way from the SELFSAT-Traveler Kit to your Set top Box. The antenna should not be too distant from your satellite receiver; a cable longer than 30 meters may decrease the quality of the signal.
Before installing your antenna, you check that SELFSAT-Traveler Kit box contains all the items listed above in the ‘Box Content’. In the event of any missing parts, please contact your distributor.
