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.

7. Further, the installer and end user may be directly liable for any damages resulting from
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 C-
COM 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.

1. Introduction
The iNetVu®7710 Controller is a one-box, one-touch solution for satellite auto-acquisition.
Designed to interface with a number of Satellite Modems, iNetVu®VSATs, and DVB-S/DVB-
S2ACM Receivers, the iNetVu®7710 Controller connects to iNetVu®platforms which are
equipped with 7720 on-board module (Remote Controller). The 7710 will only work with the
remote on-board 7720 controller and the same holds true for the 7720. The iNetVu®7710
Controller is easily configurable and operated antenna controller unit which comes with the
combined GPS/GLONASS Satellite Navigation System.
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 stand-
alone 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.

5. Typical Connection Configuration
The typical connection configuration for each service will be the same regardless of the Satellite
Modem / VSAT. However, the configuration parameters for Satellite Modem / VSAT
Communication will differ depending on service. See iNetVu®System Manual for configuration
procedures corresponding to the service used.
This situation or practice might result in property or
equipment damage. Ensure Power/Data cable is
connected prior to powering on 7710 Controller. Do
not connect or disconnect cables once controller has
been powered on. It is recommended that controller
is properly grounded at all times. 7720 Remote
Drive Module acquires its power when the 7710
controller is powered up.
