Se either chapter 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 for detailed information,
depending on your type of antenna.
Note Note
•
Due to the increased sensitivity of the antenna, care must be taken to
align the antenna for maximum signal strength. Adjusted for maximum
signal strength, the RF-power amplifier will automatically reduce its
output power level to what is required for a stable satellite connection.
Consequently the power consumption will be reduced to a minimum and
the battery capacity may be increased with up to more than 30 % extra,
compared to the battery capacity at maximum RF power level which is
stated in the specifications chapter 9.2 !

The antenna is unfolded by first move the antenna-part so it
makes an angle of 90° with the bracket. In this way the two side
panels can be unfolded – one on the front and one on the rear.
The side panels are tightened by moving the two slides at the top
of the side panels against each other.
Remember to move the two slides at the top of the antenna Remember to move the two slides at the top of the antenna
