3. Öryggisupplýsingar

Please observe the following safety precautions to prevent damage to the product or injury to yourself.

• Rafmagnsöryggi: Ensure all power to connected devices is off before making or breaking connections. Do not expose the antenna or cables to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Öryggi uppsetningar: Installation should be performed by a qualified person. Use appropriate safety equipment (e.g., ladder, harness) when working at heights. Avoid installing near power lines or other electrical hazards.
• Meðhöndlun: Handle the antenna with care. Do not drop or subject it to strong impacts.
• Loftræsting: Ensure adequate ventilation around the antenna, although this is less critical for outdoor LNBs.
• Þrif: Disconnect all cables before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

4. Uppsetning og uppsetning

Proper installation is crucial for optimal signal reception. This section outlines the general steps for setting up your Slimsat SA61 antenna.

4.1 Upppakkning og íhlutaskoðun

4.2 Val á uppsetningarstað

Select a location with a clear line of sight to the desired satellite. Obstructions such as trees, buildings, or other structures will block the signal. The antenna can be mounted on a wall or a pole.

4.3 Uppsetning loftnetsins

1. Assemble the mounting bracket according to the diagrams provided in the packaging.
2. Securely attach the mounting bracket to your chosen wall or pole. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the antenna, especially in windy conditions.
3. Attach the Slimsat SA61 antenna to the mounting bracket. Do not fully tighten all bolts yet, as adjustments will be needed for alignment.

4.4 Satellite Alignment

This is the most critical step for signal reception.

1. Determine Satellite Position: Use an online satellite finder tool (e.g., 'dish pointer' websites) or a satellite finder app on your smartphone to determine the exact azimuth (horizontal direction), elevation (vertical angle), and LNB skew for your location and desired satellite. The included compass can assist with initial azimuth orientation.
2. Tengjast við móttakara: Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna's LNB output to your satellite receiver's input. Ensure the F-connector is securely tightened and consider using a waterproof F-connector or weatherproofing tape for outdoor connections.
3. Adjust Azimuth and Elevation: Slowly adjust the antenna's horizontal and vertical angles while monitoring the signal strength and quality on your satellite receiver. Make small, precise movements. The rear of the antenna has markings to assist with elevation adjustment.
4. Adjust LNB Skew (Polarization): The Slimsat SA61 acts as both antenna and LNB. Rotate the entire antenna body slightly around its central axis to optimize the LNB skew for maximum signal quality. This is often done by rotating the antenna within its mounting bracket.
5. Secure Antenna: Once optimal signal strength and quality are achieved, carefully tighten all mounting bolts to secure the antenna in position. Avoid disturbing the alignment during this step.

5. Rekstur

Once installed and aligned, the Strong Slimsat SA61 antenna operates passively by receiving satellite signals and converting them for your satellite receiver. There are no user-adjustable controls on the antenna itself during normal operation.

• Ensure your satellite receiver is powered on and configured for the correct satellite.
• Use your satellite receiver's remote control to scan for channels and navigate programming.

6. Viðhald

The Slimsat SA61 antenna requires minimal maintenance.

• Regluleg skoðun: Periodically check the antenna and its mounting for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Ensure the mounting remains secure.
• Þrif: Ef yfirborð loftnetsins verður óhreint skal þurrka það varlega með mjúkum klút.amp klút. Forðist slípiefni eða sterk efni sem gætu skemmt áferðina.
• Snow/Ice Removal: In snowy or icy conditions, gently remove any accumulation from the antenna surface to prevent signal loss. Do not use sharp objects.

7. Bilanagreining

If you experience issues with your satellite reception, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Ekkert merki / Veikt merki:
  • Check all cable connections between the antenna and the receiver. Ensure they are tight and free from damage.
  • Verify that there are no new obstructions (e.g., growing trees, new buildings) blocking the line of sight to the satellite.
  • Re-check the antenna alignment (azimuth, elevation, LNB skew) using a satellite finder tool. Even slight shifts can impact signal quality.
  • Ensure your satellite receiver is correctly configured for the satellite you are trying to receive.
• Picture Freezing / Pixelation:
  • This often indicates a weak or intermittent signal. Re-align the antenna for optimal signal quality.
  • Check for any damage to the coaxial cable, especially if it has been exposed to weather.
• No Power to LNB:
  • Ensure your satellite receiver is providing power to the LNB. Check receiver settings.

If problems persist after following these steps, contact a qualified technician or Strong customer support.
