Danger!

•  This may cause the required minimum safety clearances to be violated. Maintain a minimum clearance of 1 m 

from all other electrical devices on every side! There is a danger to life if you or any of the antenna parts come 

into contact with electrical devices!

•  Never work on antenna systems during a thunderstorm - serious danger to life!

Safety during installation work

Warning:

When carrying out installation work in locations where there is a risk of falling, take appropriate safety precautions, 

e.g. use of a working platform. Make sure that the vehicle roof is sufficiently strong and stable to carry out the 

installation work (risk of damage or collapsing of roof). In case of doubt, contact a qualified specialist dealer or the 

manufacturer of your vehicle to find an appropriate installation location.

Make sure that:
-  All connected units are disconnected from the power supply
-  The person carrying out the installation or repair does not suffer from vertigo and can move around safely on the roof of the cara-

van or motor home

-  The person carrying out the installation or repair is wearing sturdy and non-slip shoes
-  The person carrying out the installation or repair has a secure position to stand and hold on while working
-  The roof and the climbing equipment used (e.g. ladder) are dry, clean and non-slip
-  The roof can withstand the weight of the person carrying out the repairs

Caution! Risk of death or injury due to falling or the roof collapsing!

-  Nobody should be inside the caravan/motor home underneath the antenna during dismantling/installation

Caution! Risk of death or injury due to possible roof collapse and falling parts!

•  If you tied the cables together with wire or similar materials, remove this to prevent the risk of fi re!
•  Lay all cables such that nobody can tread on them or trip over them.
•  To prevent parasitic induction or interference emissions, when extending the antenna cable use 75 Ω coaxial cable with a scree

-

ning factor of at least 75 dB.

•  Modifi cations to the electrical installations in the vehicle should only be carried out by a specialist in vehicle electrics.
