User and

Installation Guide

♦Place the satellite antenna as close to the recorder as possible. Use no more than 100 feet of cable between the recorder and the satellite antenna, unless you install a line amplifier to boost the signal. Otherwise, the system is more likely to lose the signal during periods of rain, snow, or heavy cloud cover.

♦Consider seasonal changes. The site may appear unobstructed in the winter, but spring and summer foliage could block the signal to the satellite antenna.

DO NOT’S

You should always follow these instructions to help ensure against injury to yourself and damage to your equipment or mounting surface. See Important Product Safety Instructions on page ii for further safety instructions.

♦Never install the satellite antenna near power lines.

♦Do not install the satellite antenna where it can be jostled, bumped, or blocked by people, animals, or vehicles.

♦Do not install the satellite antenna where it is exposed to high winds. Do not try to install the satellite antenna in windy or stormy weather, particularly if there is a chance of lightning.

♦Do not attempt to fasten the satellite antenna to the mortar between bricks or cinder blocks.

♦Do not mount the satellite antenna on vinyl or aluminum siding. These materials are structurally too weak to securely hold the satellite antenna, even with a building stud underneath. The siding would have to be crushed, or the forces of wind and weather over time would crush the area under the foot of the antenna mast.

♦Do not mount the satellite antenna downwind of a chimney or furnace vent. Ashes and dirt could collect on the dish and LNBF, possibly causing damage and poor reception. If practical, locate the antenna so the dish faces away from the vent.

♦Do not install the satellite antenna on stucco or imitation masonry unless the base material is solid. Do not mount the satellite antenna on composite materials such as strand, chip, fiber, or particle board unless the fastener attaches securely to a wall stud, rafter, or other foundation material beneath the surface.

♦Do not mount the satellite antenna on a railing, on a tile roof, or in a tree.
