1.1 Introduction Your ten Haaft® HDTV digital satellite reception system is a smart and fully automatic system. It does not require any of the manual adjustments associated with conventional systems. Unlike normal television antennas for terrestrial reception, a satellite antenna always must be precisely aimed southward into the satellite‘s signal beam. This signal beam must not be interrupted by trees or other obstacles, as this will prevent reception.
Our HDTV satellite systems stand for exceptional operating convenience and a multitude of channels. At the touch of a button, the system folds out and starts scanning for receivable satellites. The micro-processor controlled fine-tuning and the digital receiver technology ensure the best possible picture quality. Using the remote control, you can then enjoy the full range of TV and radio programmes transmitted by satellites using the new digital standard.
1.2 Proper use and operation Your satellite receiver has been designed for use on mobile homes, camper trailers or other vehicles for the reception of standard satellite signals of the Ku band frequency range. It is designed to automatically aim an antenna mounted on a stationary vehicle at one of the geostationary and directly transmitting television satellites commonly used to cover Europe. The power to the system is supplied by a vehicle electric system with a rated voltage of 12 or 24 Volt.
1.3 Safety information To avoid the risk of fire or damage to the device, the receiver must never be exposed to moisture or rain. Should an item or liquid get into the housing, immediately disconnect the device from the power supply and have it checked by a qualified professional before further usage. Place the receiver in a place with sufficient air circulation and away from any heat sources. This will prevent heat accumulation inside the receiver and ensures a longer lifecycle.
Ensure that the opening motion of the antenna is not obstructed e.g. by a tree or sign before folding out the antenna. The driver of the vehicle must inspect the top-box before driving off to ensure that the antenna is fully retracted. The antenna may need up to 30 seconds to retract after the ignition is switched on or the engine is started.
