SITE SELECTION
In order to achieve maximum performance of your antenna system, it is important to select the correct
location for the antenna. The following guidelines should be observed when selecting a site for the instal-
lation.
1.
The line of site to the satellite should be clear of any obstructions, such as trees or buildings.
2.
The site should be relatively flat and level for ease of installation and access to the antenna.
3.
The site should be checked for underground obstruction, such as buried cables or pipes.
4.
All local building codes should be adhered to (i.e. grounding, foundation requirements, zoning
rules, setbacks, etc.).
