Important information

Introduction

This handbook contains

an explanation of how to

install, connect and main-

tain your Raymarine

Satellite TV system.

This handbook covers the

following models:

• 45STV Satellite TV

system.

•60STV Satellite TV

system.

Your Raymarine Satellite

TV system provides uninterrupted television access to hundreds of TV chan-

nels in all types of weather conditions.

On the open sea or at the dock, the Raymarine Satellite TV system auto-

matically identifies, acquires and tracks compatible signals from all digital

video broadcast (DVB) satellites.

However, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed,

operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the

recommended procedures contained in this handbook.

INTENDED USE - The intended application for Raymarine

Satellite TV systems is for leisure marine boats and work-

boats not covered by IMO carriage regulations. THEY ARE

NOT intended for installation and use in any other situation.

Geographic location

Your Raymarine Satellite TV system is programmed to receive signals from

selected satellites in the followi ng areas:

•North America

• South America

• Europe

•Australia

• New Zealand

• China

• Middle East

You cannot receive signals that have linear polarization on a system set up

for circular polarized signals or circular polarized signals on a system that is

set up for linear polarized signals. If your geographic location changes it

will be necessary to change the antenna low noise block (LNB) for one

appropriate to the area in which you are operating. You may also need to

change your IRD(s) and TV receivers. For full details of changing your

geographic area of operation refer to “Satellite coverage by geographic

location” on page 60
