1. General Information
1-1. Introduction
These instructions describe the functions and operation of the CARBEST Multi-Sat
antenna.
Correct and safe operation of the system can only be ensured by following these
instructions.
Your CARBEST Multi-Sat antenna is an intelligent satellite TV reception antenna
system which can align itself towards a preset satellite automatically as long as the
system is located within the footprint of the selected satellite.
For general operation, please ensure that the system always has a clear view to the sky.
If the satellite‘s signal beam is interrupted by obstacles such as mountains, buildings or
trees, the unit will not function and no TV signal will be received.
1-2. Proper use and operation
This product has been designed for fixed installation on vehicles with maximum speeds
of 130 km/h. It is designed to automatically aim an antenna at geostationary television
satellites. The power to the system is supplied by a standard vehicle electrical system
with a rated voltage of 12 Volts DC.
Use of the equipment for any other purpose to the one specified is not permitted.
Please also note the following instructions from the manufacturer :
It is not permitted to change the overall device by removing or adding individual
components.
The use of any other parabolic reectors or LNBs to those originally
installed is not allowed.
Installation must only be performed by suciently qualied personnel. All instructions in
the supplied Installation instructions, which is separately provided, must be carefully
followed.
The product does not require any regular maintenance. Housings and enclosures must not
be opened. Check and maintenance work should always be carried out by a qualied
specialist.
All of the relevant and approved guidelines of the automotive industry must be observed
and complied with.
The equipment must only be installed on hard vehicle roofs.
Avoid cleaning your vehicle with the mounted satellite system in a single-bay or drive-
through car wash or with a high-pressure cleaner.
In case of storm or strong winds, bring the antenna down.

1-3. Safety notes
In order to ensure that your CARBEST Multi-Sat antenna works properly you must
ensure that it is following by the Operating Instructions in this manual and used as
intended purpose.
When it is correctly installed, the antenna automatically assumes the rest position
when the ignition is switched on and locks itself.
The driver of the vehicle must inspect the antenna unit before driving o to ensure
that the antenna is properly stored in safe. Check with your naked eye to see if the
antenna is fully folded.
As the user of this equipment, you are responsible for yourself ensuring compliance
with the relevant laws and regulations.
The manufacturer does not take liability for direct or indirect consequential damage
of the system, motor vehicles or other equipment by reason of unsuitable battery
usage or erroneous installation or wrong wire connection.

Additional STB can display the selected satellite channels at main STB and it
cannot select or change the satellite. Main STB which is connected via controller
is only supportive DiSEqC function.
※
Use controller cable to connect the antenna to the controller. Controller cable is
pre-connected to the main body
STB cable and signal cable have dierent lengths. Please check the lengths to use the
correct cable for the job
Please ensure the supplied cables are used and not modied in anyway

5. Skew adjustment
※For CARBEST Multi-Sat antenna standard models only. No need for Auto skew models.
The LNB at the end of the satellite picks up
either horizontal or vertical signal. To change
horizontal to vertical signal, turn the LNB as
90° (vice versa).
Skew adjustment is required according to
target satellites and regions. For the best
signal quality, adjust skew by referring to the
below images.
Accuracy is not important, so small tolerance
will be acceptable. It will be easy to check
the satellite's signal quality on STB with
turning the LNB little by little.

For example :
a.
b.
Go to the target satellite using arrow buttons and press SET to search
Lock LED blinks during searching process and becomes solid when the target satellite is
locked
c.
d.
If wrong satellite is selected, move to the correct satellite and press SET to conrm the
new satellite
After use or before travelling, press HOME for HOME positioning
The default setting for DiSEqC is ON, DiSEqC LED is on.
To switch the function ON/OFF, make sure that antenna is at HOME and press DiSEqC button
for 2 seconds. (See also DiSEqC LED status changes between ON and OFF.)
For DiSEqC operating of the antenna, STB has to have matching satellite list as CARBEST Dish
series’s pre-set list. User needs to assign satellites in same order (#1~12 in the above table) at
STB’s DiSEqC setting to be ready for DiSEqC function use.
