Proper use (designated use)
The BAS 66 skew is designed for satellite reception from mobile locations, i.e. stationary caravans, motorhomes, HGVs or non-com-
mercial boats on inland waterways. The arrangement for attaching the antenna is compatible with the jointed tripod masts HDM 140,
HDM 141 and HDM 143 (Fig. 1), which allows the antenna to be rotated and aligned by crank and mast rotation from within the vehicle.
Any other use, or failure to comply with these user instructions and the documentation and instructions accompanying the
equipment, will result in voiding of warranty cover.
The following circumstances result in the loss of all warranty and liability claims towards the manufacturer:
- Improper installation
- Use of non-specified mounting materials, which cannot guarantee the mechanical reliability of the antenna system
- Non-permissible use, e.g. use of the planar antenna for storage
- Structural changes or interference with the components and mounting accessories in the set, which could endanger both the me-
chanical and functional reliability
- Forced opening of the antenna (can produce function failure)
- Use of cleaners containing solvents, such as acetone, nitro-cellulose combination thinners, petrol etc.
- Failure to observe further instructions in this manual
Important NOTE:
In some cases, it may happen that the film surface of the BAS 66 Skew is slightly wavy. However, this
does not affect the reception and is therefore not a reason for complaint.
Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO)
The applicable regulations of the StVZO must be observed in respect of fixed installation of the turntable on a vehicle which is driven
on public highways. In particular, §§ 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and the EC directive 74/483 EEC are applicable. Briefly, they state that no endor-
sement of the vehicle documentation is required unless the antenna unit causes the height of the laden vehicle to exceed 2 m, or the
antenna unit projects beyond the outer lateral outline of the vehicle. The maximum permissible height of 4 m (vehicle and antenna unit)
may not be exceeded.
Tip: Keep these instructions safe for future reference and give them to the next owner if the antenna is sold.
