before starting a project. • Before starting installation check
structure is sound and check for hidden wiring or plumbing.
• When working on an installation outside, beware of overhead
power lines. • Observe safe working practices, tread carefully on
roofs and ensure adequate lighting is available if working in loft
or roof space. • Before making any connections switch electricity
off at the mains. • Always follow manufacturer's operating and
safety instructions before using tools and/or equipment.
• Only carry out work outdoors at height if you are competent in
the use of ladders and related access equipment. • Always read

care not to over tighten cable clips. • This product may contain
small parts - keep out of reach of children. • After installation

DISH POSITIONING AND ASSEMBLY
1) Identify your South Facing Wall: The dish needs to be on a South facing wall in order to pick up the Astra 2A, 2B,
2D and Eurobird1 satellites. Identify your south facing wall and look to mount your satellite dish on the outside of
the wall, at the nearest point to your main TV. Tip: Look at your neighbours' houses someone is sure to have Sky, see
which way their dish is facing. If none of your neighbours have Sky, you can use a compass to determine which wall
faces south.
Please note that
the mounting
bracket can be
mounted on
either a wall or
Wall Mount
a flat roof.
2) Check line of sight: Make sure there are
no obstructions (trees/tall buildings) in line
between the dish and the satellites.
