Page 8: Selecting Location
2.3 Selecting location This illustration shows the importance of a proper location for the antenna unit. Antenna Antenna Note that criteria such as an unobstructed view to the satellite and a strong mounting surface are met. Furthermore, no sources of interference, e.g. radar equipment or other antennas, such as mobile communication antennas, should be installed nearby the Marine TV antenna unit. -
Page 9: Mounting Surface
2.4 Mounting surface A horizontal, solid and steady surface is very important. Make sure that the surface does not have any irregularities! Furthermore, please take into consideration that the weight of the antenna unit is 56 kg or more. Therefore, the surface has to be strong enough to carry the antenna unit, even during the most challenging maritime conditions. - Page 10 Example of template: View from below TV90...
