2 Product Description
The smartmeter S1 is a handy digital antenna measuring device for a
quick and easy alignment of satellite antennas. If a satellite is found, the
smartmeter S1 shows it on the display and emits an audible signal. Signal
strength and quality are displayed as numerical values and bar graphs.
Another measurement value is the forward error correction (FEC) and the
bit error rate after Viterbi (VBER). In addition, the picture quality can be
revised on the high-resolution 8.9-inch TFTLCD screen.
Many satellites are pre-programmed in order to an quick antenna adjustment.
There is a protective pouch for transport and as a protection.

3.4 Lithium Ion Battery
The smartmeter S1 is provided with a lithium ion battery. Please observe
the following safety notes for the battery:
Any kind of heat (from inside or outside) can trigger uncontrollable chain reactions inside the battery.
Do not store or use the battery in temperatures above
40 °C.
Never connect the two poles (+ and -).
Never expose the battery to high temperatures, e.g.
close to stoves or cookers or other hot objects.
Charge the battery only with the supplied power plug.
Damages on and improper use of the battery can lead
to fumes leaking from the battery. When inhaled, these
