TIPS FOR CORRECT USAGE
GLOMEX recommends observing the following
indications for a correct use of the equipment.
- The receiver must be activated before receiving
the satellite programmes.
- Keep the radome always mounted on the
antenna. Its task is to protect all inner (fixed and
moving) parts from wind, rain and dust.
- Do not lean against and/or sit on the antenna!
- Pay attention not to spill liquids of any kind into
the antenna.
- The radome should be cleaned periodically.
Dust or dirt accumulated on the radome could
affect the satellite signal receipt. Clean the
radome with a cloth damped with water. DO
NOT USE BRUSHES, ABRASIVE PRODUCTS,
DETERGENTS OR ALCOHOL-BASED LIQ-
UIDS.
- Do not paint the surface of the radome! This
would negatively affect signal receipt.
- The antenna requires a clear view of the sky to
receive satellite signals. Possible very common
signal obstructions include masts of other boats,
bridges, on-board equipment, etc. GLOMEX
antennas also do not operate inside storage
areas.

- Heavy rain or snow could temporarily interrupt
signal receipt from the satellite.
- The boat must be within the coverage area of
the selected satellite to receive the desired sig-
nal. Please refer to the satellite coverage foot-
prints on the following page.
Bad weather conditions affect the quality of the sig-
nal and reduce image quality!
- At the end of its life, do not scatter the antenna
or its components into the environment, but take
advantage of specialized waste disposal agen-
cies.
