Safety instructions
Please read the safety instructions carefully before operating the
satellite system .
Please follow all warnings and instructions on the equipment and in
the operating manual.
Basic safety instructions
Electrical connection
xDo not expose the receiver to rain or any kind of humidity to avoid
risk of fire and electric shock.
xNever open the casing. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric
shock.
xConnect the receiver only to the power source installed by an
expert. It is either:
-for an external power pack:
a 100–240 V, 50-60 Hz mains socket as per specifications or
- for a 12 V cable:
a 11 V – max. 14 V DC supply as per specifications.
xEnsure that the total power consumption by the antenna
connection of the receiver does not exceed “LNB IN” 300 mA.
xDisconnect the external power pack from the mains socket if you
will not be using the device for a long period of time. Only
disconnect at the external power pack or at the head piece of the
12 V cable, do not pull the cable itself.
xIn case of a storm, disconnect the external power pack (from the
mains socket) or the 12 V cable of the receiver.
x In case of a storm, unscrew the LNB-cable out of the receiver.
xIf foreign bodies or fluids enter the receiver, immediately pull out
the external power pack or the 12V cable out of the socket. Ask a
qualified person to check the equipment before operating it once
again. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.
xDo not bend or crimp any cable.

xIf a cable used for the mains supply is damaged, the receiver
must be repaired by an expert before reusing it. Otherwise, there
is a risk of electric shock.
xNever allow children to operate the receiver or to play with the
antenna unit unless supervised.
xAlways ask qualified personnel to carry out repair work.
Otherwise, you are putting yourself and others at risk.
xDisconnect the receiver from the power source in case of
operational disruptions.
xEnsure that the power source is easily accessible.
xModifications to the device will invalidate the waranty
xRemove protective film.
Correct position
xPlace the receiver on a stable and even base.
xUse the receiver only in adequate climatic conditions.
xAvoid proximity to:
-heat sources, like e. g. heaters,
-naked flames, like e. g. candles,
-devices with strong magnetic fields, e.g. loudspeakers.
-Never place receptacles filled with liquid (such as vases) on
the receiver.
xAvoid direct sunlight and places with an extremely high amount of
dust.
xNever cover ventilation slits. Provide for sufficient ventilation by
maintaining a safety distance of 5 cm to other objects.
xDo not place any heavy objects on the receiver.
xHumidity may settle in the receiver if it is brought into hot
surroundings from a cold one. In this case, wait for about an hour
before operating the equipment.
xArrange all cables in such a manner that no-one steps or trips
over them.
xThe antenna unit is not suitable for operating in high wind
pressures. Do not expose it to strong wind.

Correct battery handling
xBatteries may contain toxic agents. Ensure that batteries are not
within the reach of children. Children may eat and swallow
batteries.
xBatteries that are discharged may damage the remote control. If
the receiver is not in use for a long period of time, remove the
batteries from the remote control.
xBatteries may contain toxic agents. Therefore, dispose of the
batteries immediately in an ecologically acceptable manner
according to the prevailing statutory regulations. Never throw the
batteries into normal household waste.
xNever expose the batteries to open fire or strong heat, as
otherwise there is a danger of explosion.
xReplace the batteries always by batteries of the same type.

Appropriate use
The satellite system receives digital satellite channels for private use.
It is exclusively meant for this purpose and must only be used for the
same. This also includes paying attention to all information contained
in these operating instructions, especially the safety instructions.
Due to its user-friendly installation and disassembly, the satellite
system is ideal for mobile use (camping or caravans). As there are
diverse installation options, the system can be used in many places:
xon/at tables
xat masts
xat walls
xon lawns
xon crates
xetc.
LPlease observe all prohibitions or information of the local
administration (if any).
Please observe the following safety instructions for each kind of
installation:
Danger!
Do not expose the satelite system to high loads due to wind
pressures, e.g.
- installation at great heights (balcony railings)
- storm (wind speed > 75 km/h)
In case of non-observance, there is a risk of damage to property
and personal injury.

Caution!
The maximum bending moment of the satellite system is 15.30 Nm.
Please make sure during installation that the fixation is able to
withstand this pressure.
Do not install the satellite system In places with difficult access.
Mount the satellite system only in places where it will be easily
accessible to you without any danger. Make sure that in case of
need you will always be able to remove the system.
Any other use is considered to be improper and may lead to material
damages and even personal injuries.
Amongst others, information on wind speed is available on the
Internet.
Do not leave the satellite system unattended.
The manufacturer does not bear any liability for damages caused
due to improper use.

Description
You can receive uncoded (free-to-air) digital satellite channels with
the satellite system without depending on a fixed mounted satellite
antenna. The mobile antenna allows you to receive signals at
different places, e.g. on a camping site. With the mounting parts, the
antenna can be installed e.g. on a balustrade, a mast or a wall.
Naturally, you can also connect the receiver to a fixed installed
satellite antenna.
It is not necessary to set the receiver yet. The most important
broadcasting stations and satellites have already been preset.
The following satellites have been preset by the factory:
xAstra 19.2E
xHotbird 13.0E
xTürksat 42.0E
xSirius2 5.0E
xAmos/Atlantic4-5W
xAstra 28.2E
xHispaSat 30W
xEutel W3A 7E
xEutel W2 16E
xHellasat 39E
The antenna has to be directed towards the desired satellite.
LPlease note that the reception of the preset satellites
depends on the location. The satellite system has been
designed for mobile use. Therefore not all preset satellites
can be received at all locations due to the size of the
antenna. Please compare the elevation table in the section
"Rough direction of the antenna"on page 39.
The receiver will scan for further new broadcasting stations as soon
as you initiate the automatic scan of broadcasting stations for this
satellite. Satellites not preset may be added.

Antenna installation
The antenna consists of a few individual components and is simple
to install.
ÖTake out the system components from the transport bag.
ÖRemove the packing material.
Installation of the antenna
ÖStep 1: Place the antenna with its base on a suitable surface
and open it in the direction of the arrow until it is in a
vertical position.
ÖStep 2: Now, the antenna is open. For fixing the angle of
inclination of the antenna please tighten both wing nuts
(arrow 1). The adjustment of the angle of inclination is
described in section "Direction of the antenna" on page
37. The horizontal direction (azimuth) by rotating the
antenna will be fixed with the wing nut at arrow 2.

ÖStep 3: Now take the LNB arm down in direction of the arrow
until it is locked in place.
ÖStep 4a: For installing of the LNB in the LNB bracket untighten
the 2 screws of the LNB bracket and remove the top
half of the LNB bracket. Then insert the LNB as shown
in the picture and fix the top cover again with the screws
and nuts. Tighten the screws uniformly.

For step 4a you will need a crosstip screwdriver (not included
in the contents). Tighten the screws of the LNB bracket only in
such a way that the LNB is fixed. If you tighten them too much,
the LNB bracket could break. Additionally, the LNB could be
deformed or damaged.
