Dirt buildup or moisture on the dome can reduce satellite reception. -
Page 28: Causes And Remedies
Coverage Map” Satellite Signal Blocked The SATFI UK antenna needs a clear line of sight (LOS) to the satellite for uninterrupted reception. Objects such as tall trees, bridges and buildings that block this view will cause a loss of signal. The signal will be quickly restored once the antenna has a clear line of sight again. - Page 29 SATFI UK User Manual Ver. 1.0 Improper Wiring If the system has been improperly wired, the antenna will not operate correctly. Refer to the User Manual for complete system wiring information or visit website www.caclase.info Loose Cable Connectors We recommend periodically checking the antenna unit’s cable connections. A loose cable connector can reduce signal quality or prevent automatic satellite switching using the receiver’s remote control.
