Operating instructions

PAGE 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AUTOSAT 2
Important Notes:
Please read these operating instructions before installation and start-up of your
AutoSat2.
Always make sure (even when your AutoSat2 will be retracted by your
starter key, see chapter 4.2 Power Supply) that the system has really
retracted when starting your vehicle. In case of interrupted supply
voltage, for instance, the aerial can no longer be automatically retracted.
Very important: The external unit must be assembled in stationary position
with the aerial folded in a direction opposite to driving direction on the vehicle
roof as otherwise one cannot rule out that the aerial will be righted by the wind
during high-speed driving.
When loading the vehicle on a train, the aerial must be fixed in stationary
position by additional suitable means (expander belts, etc.), due to railway
wagons being turned around when recoupling.
Do not clean your AutoSat2 external unit with a steam cleaner. The rubber
seals used for sealing will be OK for rain and water spray but cannot survive a
water jet of several bars of pressure.
Do not use drive-in wash stations, which will be used entirely at your risk.
A condition for satellite reception will be free sight to the satellite, i.e. trees for
instance cannot be penetrated by a satellite signal !!
In European marginal zones you may not be able to receive all your stations.
Therefore ensure that satellite search in these areas operates with a station
receivable there
WARNING:
In order to prevent damage to your vehicle roof, your AutoSat2 must not be
operated in high winds and gusts.
