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
LIQUIDS.
- 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
signal. Please refer to the satellite coverage
footprints on the following page.
NOTE: Environmental temperature changes may
influence the response of the sensors inside the
antenna (gyroscopes), making signal pointing less
precise.
Should the signal be unstable, we recommend
turning the device off and on again. A new
calibration will be performed by the antenna.

S
Bad weather conditions affect the quality of the
signal 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
agencies.
