Safety instructions

Please read the safety instructions carefully before operating the receiver. Please follow all warnings and instructions on the equipment and in the operating manual. . Please follow also the safety instructions in the manual of your LNB.

Basic safety instructions

Installation of the satellite antenna

• Never install the antenna during a thunder storm or if

there are signs of an imminent storm. There is danger of life due to lightning stroke.

• The antenna must not touch wires (e. g. aerial wires

above your roof). There is danger of life due to electric shock.

• Rope yourself up during installation if there is a

danger of falling and wear a safety belt.

• Block the danger zone during the assembly to avoid

that persons could be injured by objects falling down.

• The rod you use for the installation of the antenna,

must be designed for the weight of the antenna and the load due to wind.

• According to the legal regulations, the antenna must

be provided with a lightning protection and grounded completely by an expert.

Electrical connection

• Separate the receiver from the power source in case of

operational disruptions. Please note: The receiver will

remain live, even if it is turned off with the mains switch on the rear side.

• Do not expose the receiver to rain or any kind of

humidity to avoid risk of fire and electric shock.

• Never open the casing. Otherwise, there is a risk of

electric shock.

• Connect the receiver only to a professionally installed

mains socket of 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz.

• The total power consumption by the antenna

connection of the receiver “LNB IN” must not exceed 300 mA.

• Pull out the mains plug from the socket if the

equipment is not in use for a longer period of time. Only pull at the mains plug, not at the cable.

• In case of storms pull out the mains plug of the

receiver from the socket.

• In case of a storm, loosen the LNB cable from the

receiver.

• If foreign bodies or fluids enter the receiver,

immediately pull out the mains plug from the socket. Ask a qualified person to check the equipment before operating it again. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

• Ensure that the power source (socket) is easily

accessible.

• Do not bend or crimp the mains cable.

• Always ask qualified personnel to carry out

maintenance jobs. Otherwise, you are putting yourself and others at risk.

• Disconnect the receiver from the power source in case

of operational disruptions.

• If the mains cable is damaged, the

receiver must be repaired by an expert before reusing it. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

• Never allow children to operate the receiver or to play

with the antenna unit unless supervised.

• Spare parts must be ordered directly from the

manufacturer

• Modifications of the device lead to an extinction of the

manufacturer’s liability.

• Remove the protection films.

Suitable location

• Place the receiver on a stable and even base.

• Avoid proximity to:

- heat sources, like e. g. heaters,

- naked flames, like e. g. candles,

- devices with strong magnetic fields, like e.g.

loudspeakers.

- Never place receptacles filled with liquid (e. g. vases) on the receiver

• Avoid direct sunlight and places with an extremely high amount of dust.

• Never cover ventilation slits. Ensure adequate ventilation of the receiver.

• Do not place any heavy objects on the receiver.

• Humidity may settle in the receiver if it is brought into

hot surroundings from a cold one. In this case, wait for about an hour before operating the equipment.

• Arrange the mains and antenna cable in such a manner that no-one can step or trip over them.

Correct battery handling

• Batteries may contain toxic agents. Ensure that batteries are not within the reach of children. Children may eat and swallow batteries.

• Batteries that are getting discharged may damage the remote control. If the receiver is not in use for a longer period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.

• Batteries may contain toxic agents. Therefore, dispose of the batteries immediately in an ecologically accepted manner according to the prevailing statutory regulations. Never throw the batteries into normal household waste.

• Never expose the batteries to open fire or strong heat, as otherwise there is a danger of explosion.

• Replace the batteries always by batteries of the same type.

Explanation of safety instructions

Description

With the antenna, you can receive satellite programmes as soon as you have connected a receiver and the antenna is directed towards a satellite.

With the fastening bow, the antenna can be installed easily on a mast or a balustrade.

With this receiver you are able to receive unencrypted digital satellite channels (free-to-air) via satellite antenna.

It is not necessary to programme the receiver yet. The most important broadcasting stations and satellites have already been pre-programmed.

The satellite antenna has to be directed towards the desired satellite.

The receiver will scan for further new channels as soon as you initiate the automatic scanning of broadcasting stations for this satellite. Satellites not preset may be added.

All receiver settings can be done easily using the user interface (menu) on the TV monitor.

Assembly diagram

Antenna installation

The antenna consists of a few individual components and is easy to install.

Please have a look at the installation diagram.



 Remove the system components from the cardboard

box.

 Remove the packing material.

Fixing the supporting arm

 Place the bracket (2) at the back of the upper screw

holes of the dish (1).

 Insert short fixing screws (10) from the front side in

one of the bores of the dish and the bores of the bracket (2).

 Place one plain washer and one screw nut each on

both screw threads and tighten the screw nuts.

 Insert the supporting arm (12) through the dish in the

bracket.

 Fix the supporting arm (12) with the screw (8) at the

bracket (2).

Fixing the supporting profile

 Place the supporting profile (5) at the back of the

bracket (2).

 Insert the long fastening screw (11) in the bracket.  Place one plain washer and one screw nut on the

screw thread and tighten the screw nut slightly.

Tighten these screws only after having directed



the antenna to its final position.

Fixing the LNB seat

 Place the shell of the LNB seat (13) on the supporting

arm.

 Fix the LNB seat with the screw (6) to secure the seat

at the supporting arm.

 Place the upper shell (14) on the LNB seat (13) and fix

the shell with both screws (9) at the LNB seat.

Correct position

The most common satellites can be found in southeastern direction, e. g.

Astra1 19.2° East, Eutelsat Hotbird 13° East, Türksat 42° East.

When searching the southern direction, the



position of the sun might help you. During summer time, the sun is exactly in southern position at 12 am noon and during winter at 1 pm.

 Direct the satellite dish to the south (S).

In this angle of 90° nearly all common satellite positions, such as ASTRA 19.2° E, Eutelsat Hotbird 13° E, and Türksat 42° E, can be found.

Depending on which satellite you wish to receive, there must be free sight without any obstacles in this angle. This must especially be ensured with an installation on a wall. Make sure that you can turn your antenna completely without having contact with the wall of your house before installing a corresponding wall bracket (not necessarily included in the scope of supply).

Danger of electric shock!

The antenna must not touch wires (e. g. aerial wires above your roof). There is danger of life.

The direction of the reception / antenna is determined by two angles:

• the horizontal azimuth angle = haa

• the vertical elevation angle = vea



Please make sure that there are no obstacles between the antenna and the satellite. No tree, house or other obstacles must block visibility. As a general rule: an obstacle must only be half the size as its distance to the antenna. The antenna should not be installed behind a balcony or a house balustrade.

Installing the antenna

Danger of lightning stroke!

Never install the antenna during a thunder storm or if there are signs of an imminent storm. There is danger of life due to lightning stroke.

Danger of falling!

Rope yourself up during installation if there is a danger of falling and wear a safety belt.



 Insert the fastening bow in the long holes in the middle

First, install the antenna only slightly, so that you still can move it to the side or up.

of the supporting profile.

 Place the supporting profile at the rod, at which you

want to fix the antenna. The fastening bow is placed around the rod.

 Place the clamping profile on the fastening bow.  Screw the screw nuts on the threads of the fastening

bow.

 Tighten the nuts uniformly.
