3 Safety notes
When installing the unit, please conform with the various European standards and VDE
regulations relating to the safety of electrical appliances and installations (e.g. VDE
0855, Part1). When in doubt, consult your retailer.
4. Mounting the F-connectors
Note!
Attach the F-connectors while the receiving installation is disconnected from
main power!
Please proceed with extreme care when installing the F-connectors, in order to avoid
any functional problems or even the destruction of the satellite receiver, which can result
from incorrectly mounted connectors.
In addition to the text, please also see illustration 3.
¾ Use a sharp knife to remove approximately 6 mm of the insulation at the end of the
cable, cutting down to the core cable. Please be careful not do damage the core
cable.
¾ Remove the extraneous section of shielding mesh.
¾ Now remove 10 mm of the outer plastic mantle, in order to expose the wire mesh.
Please ensure that the wire mesh is not damaged.
¾ Ensure that no wires of the shielding mesh are in contact with the core cable.
¾ Now twist the F-connector carefully on to the cable, until the core cable is level with
the front rim of the F-connector. Then check once more that the wire mesh is not in
contact with the core cable. The F-connector is now correctly mounted.

5. Positioning the external unit
The positioning of the external unit should preferably be done with the aid of a
calibration tool. Alternatively, positioning can also be effected with the aid of the less
expensive TechniSat SatFinder (Article No. 0000/3045). If neither of these aids is
available, positioning can be carried out as follows, using a digital receiver and a
television set.
1. Use a suitable co-axial cable to connect the LNB to the receiver.
2. Connect the receiver to the television set, and set the receiver to a programme slot on
which a programme of the desired satellite can be received.
