Connecting the receiver The receiver is connected with your satellite antenna by means of a coaxial cable. If necessary, you have to prepare a coaxial cable before connecting the receiver. The coaxial cable is not included in the scope of supply.
LNB cable installation (cp. installation diagram on the next page) For the installation of the F connector on the coaxial cable you will need a knife (ideally a wire stripper) and side cutting pliers. When stripping the isolation, neither the inner core or the foil nor the wire netting must be damaged.
Page 19
Cut the inner core with a cable cutter in such a manner ð that it projects maximum 1 mm from the connector.

In this angle of 90° nearly all common satellite positions, such as ASTRA1 19.2° E, Eutelsat Hotbird 13° E, and Türksat 42° E, can be found. Depending on which satellite you wish to receive, there must be free sight without any obstacles in this angle.
First step: Switch on your TV set. Please make sure that your TV set has been adjusted to the receiver, i.e. in case of a Scart connection or HDMI connection, the TV set must be set to the correct AV channel. Second step: Switch on the receiver.
