REQUIRED TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Keep the device in its cardboard box for transport on to the vehicle roof. Only take the turntable out of
its packaging when it is on the vehicle roof. Retain the original packaging, as if it is necessary to send
the unit for repair transport damage cannot be ruled out and the manufacturer accepts no liability for
possible damage.
Loosen the six fastening screws (width A/F: 10 mm). Carefully lift the turntable off the mounting plate
and place it on the prepared wooden supports. Make sure that the cables are not crushed where they
emerge from the underside of the turntable.
UNPACKING AND PREPARATION
Essentially, the cable lengths of the MobiSet 2 CAP 600 components allow you a free choice of installation
location on your caravan or motor home.
However, you should take note of the following points:
•
Before installation, you should fi nd out whether the operating manual for your vehicle permits the fi tting
of non-vehicle specifi c parts or what requirements need to be met in order to do so.
•
For direct satellite reception, there should not be any obstructions between the antenna and the satellite.
Therefore, make sure that the antenna is not shadowed by roof extensions such as luggage racks,
air conditioning units, solar panels, etc. The problem of shadowing applies also to the selection of the
parking place for your vehicle. For interference-free satellite reception, the antenna needs a projected
free view to the South at an angle of between 15° and 55° (depending on location) to the horizontal.
