Then mark the base of the antenna
with a pen.
3. Place the antenna at the later mounting
location and align it so that the mirror
and LNB unit are facing the rear of
the vehicle. Make sure that the
mounting surface is level and that
no roof structures obstruct it.
Always follow the installation
dimensions in this user manual. The
minimum distance from the air
conditioning unit should be 30 cm.
Provide a suitable workplace, a garage/hall is better than an outdoor area. The
ambient temperature for installation must be between +5°C and max. +25°C. Do
not work in direct sunlight. Observe work regulations when handling chemical
products. Ensure the necessary work hygiene.
We strongly recommend that the installation be carried out by your
specialist dealer or specialist service! Also note that the height of the
vehicle changes accordingly due to the antenna! Follow the individual
points of the assembly instructions carefully!
4. Clean the mounting surface with a
suitable cleaning agent and a non-
woven cloth to remove dirt.
2. Installation
Preparation 1. Make sure the roof of your vehicle is stable enough. If the
stability of the roof is insufficient or questionable, attach a metal plate with
a thickness of approx. 2 mm and dimensions of approx. 100 x 100 cm to the
outer shell of the roof. For more information, contact the vehicle manufacturer.

5. Lightly roughen the drawn areas and the feet with sandpaper (120 grit) and clean
the surface again with the cleaning agent and let the cleaning agent work for
about 10 minutes. CAUTION: Do not touch the surfaces afterwards.
06
1. Prepare the glue for assembly.
4. Immediately remove the leaked adhesive with a spatula or similar method and clean the
contaminated surfaces with a cleaning agent and a woolen cloth.
6. After assembly is complete and the adhesive has cured, a silicone joint can be made
around the base of the antenna.
2. Now apply the glue to the underside of the
antenna base in serpentine lines so that the glue
cures well all the way to the inside.
3. Now immediately (within 5 minutes after applying the glue) place the antenna on the
marked field. Press the foot lightly and evenly and secure the antenna so that it does not
slip, e.g. with adhesive tape. There must be at least 2 mm of adhesive between the
antenna base and the surface after pressing. The glue is cured after a maximum of 48
hours at a temperature of +18 °C and a relative humidity of 50%. If the humidity is low at
the time of installation, spray some water in the air around the antenna after applying the
adhesive.
5. For safety reasons, you can additionally attach the base of the antenna. To do this, drill
the existing holes in the base of the antenna into the roof of the vehicle and fix it with a
screw and a lock nut. To prevent the freshly glued foot from slipping, wait until the glue
hardens.
6. Mount the roof grommet (preferably flush with the front part) on the roof of the vehicle.
Make sure that water and moisture (e.g. rain or splash water) do not enter the drilled hole.
Make sure that the cables are not bent too much to avoid signal loss and cable damage
(smallest bending radius max. 5-7 cm).

ÿ Connect the power cable (red-black cable) of the control unit to the vehicle
battery with a fuse (7 A) to prevent the cable from catching fire in the event
of a short circuit. The yellow cable connects to the positive of the vehicle
ignition and is also protected by a 7 A fuse (this cable should only be
connected if the antenna is to be automatically retracted after the engine is
started ). The remaining black wire is connected to the appropriate negative
terminal of the ignition system (ground).

Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data
information from satellites located 22,000 miles in space. A receiving station, such
as an antenna, should contain an antenna and a satellite receiver that receives
the signals and processes them for use in consumer audio and video equipment.
The system requires a clear view of the satellite for the best possible signal
reception.
12
Objects such as tall lighthouses, bridges and large ships that block this view will
cause signal loss. The signal is quickly restored as soon as the antenna has a
clear line of sight again. Heavy rain, clouds, snow or ice can also affect the quality
of signal reception. If the satellite signal is lost due to jamming or adverse weather
conditions, services from the receiver will be lost (image freezes on frame and
may disappear). As soon as the satellite signal strength is high enough again, the
receiver will again provide the required program services.

5. Problem solving
If the transponders on the satellite are changed, the antenna may no longer be able to
find the satellite. Update the controller firmware to get the latest transponder information.
The satellites are located in fixed positions above the equator in orbit.
The mobile application does not connect to the
controller Make sure that the Bluetooth® function is turned on on your mobile device and
that you are. are in the immediate vicinity of the control unit (max. 10 meters).
In order to receive TV signals, the reception location must be inside the track. Use
the diagram to check if your location is within range of the satellite. Reception
interference may occur in the peripheral areas of the track.
Heavy soiling of the cover can cause reception problems.
Check that the TV and receiver are properly connected and that the receiver is
correctly set for satellite reception. Are all the cables properly connected and the
connectors firmly screwed onto the coaxial cable? Also check that the coaxial
cable is not twisted.
18
Is the antenna dirty?
Is everything properly plugged in and turned on?
The satellite frequency of the TV channel has been changed
The TV station sometimes changes its frequency, which then no longer corresponds to the
frequency in the receiver. Ask for the current channel frequency.
ENGLISH
No satellite signal Objects
such as trees, bridges and large houses located in the angle of incidence of the satellite
cause signal loss. If the satellite signal is lost due to adverse weather conditions, the
current program of the TV or receiver will be interrupted (the image will be pixelated, frozen
or disappear). As soon as the weather conditions allow good reception again, the TV
picture will be restored.
Controller firmware is out of date.
