Assembly
1. Unpack the Base Unit with the antenna positioner.
WARNING: Be careful not to get your fingers caught
in the mechanic systems when handling and installing the
antenna!
2. Place the Base Unit upon level ground and deploy the two
support legs.
3. Position the antenna in the approximate direction:
Northern hemisphere - the display faces north
Southern hemisphere - the display faces south
This way the antenna points towards the equator, over
which the satellites are located.
WARNING: Anchor the support legs to the ground.
Especially in high wind conditions, add extra weight to the
support legs, or insert stakes through holes in the support
feet.
4. Turn the black knobs to adjust the feet up and down to
level the base and achieve stability.
5. Retract the two thumb screws on the mounting blocks
which are located on the elevation arms.
6. Take the RF assembly out of the case, handle it carefully.
7. Insert the RF assembly into the mounting blocks.
Push forward to make sure it is completely engaged, while
tightening the two thumb screws.
8. Unpack the seven reflector panels (in two separate bags).
9. Insert the bottom panels first and latch them along the
edge of each panel.
10. Insert and latch the upper panels.
11. Take out the feed horn and mount it carefully on the RF
assembly by screwing it into the reflector hub.
IMPORTANT: Hold the feed horn as shown while
mounting it. Do not touch the subreflector, it can be easily
damaged.
