The CRUISER is an omnidireconal antenna designed to receive all available analogue and digital
terrestrial TV, FM and DAB signals through 360 degree radius, made specically for the marine
environment and for all types of vessels.
Omnidireconal design eliminates the me needed to locate the direcon of a local TV and
radio transmier. The CRUISER is equipped with the Scout SEA-BOOST, a low noise amplier with
variable gain control that increases the strength of incoming digital signals.
The exclusive design, the compact size of only 25 cm diameter and the superior picture quality
make the Scout CRUISER the perfect choice for boaters who want to enjoy premium TV and radio
on board.
CRUISER è un’antenna omnidirezionale progeata per ricevere tu i segnali analogici e digitali
terrestri TV, FM e DAB, con un raggio di ricezione di 360 gradi. CRUISER è costruita specicamente
per l’ambiente marino e adaa all’istallazione su ogni po di imbarcazione.
Il sistema di ricezione omnidirezionale elimina il tempo di direzionamento antenna verso le
trasmien TV e radio locali, permeendo un’ecace sintonizzazione sia da fermo che in
movimento. CRUISER è fornita unitamente a Scout SEA-BOOST, un moderno amplicatore a
basso rumore con controllo variabile del guadagno che permee di incrementare la potenza dei
segnali digitali in ingresso.
Il design esclusivo, l’estrema compaezza delle dimensioni (25 cm diametro) e l’elevata qualità di
ricezione fanno del CRUISER la scelta perfea per il proprio impianto tv di bordo.

Antenna Installaon - Installazione dell’Antenna
L’installazione dell’antenna deve procedere seguendo le presen istruzioni per assicurarne la
massima performance.
- Installare l’antenna in una posizione con visuale totalmente aperta dell’orizzonte e il più in alto
possibile.
- Mantenere la visuale dell’antenna libera da ostacoli (vedi disegni seguen).
- Il piano dove eeuare l’installazione deve essere il più rigido possibile e non soggeo a
eccessive vibrazioni. L’oscillazione dell’antenna può essere minimizzata montandola al centro
dell’imbarcazione. Evitare il montaggio in posizioni periferiche dove il movimento oscillatorio è
maggiore.
NO YES
Power Boat Antenna Installaon
Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to insure maximum performance
of the antenna.
► The antenna should be installed in the place where is an all round clear view of the horizon and
as high as possible.
► Please keep clear the antenna from any obstacles (Refer to the following drawings).
► The mounng plaorm should be rigid enough and not subjected to excessive vibraon. The
movement of the antenna can be minimized by installing at the center of the vessel. For opmal
performance of the antenna, it is not recommended to install at any corner of the vessel, where
the movement of the vessel is the greatest.
