• Keep the radome installed on the

antenna at all times.

The radome

protects the antenna’s internal moving
parts from wind, rain, and debris.

• The receiver must be activated before it

can receive DIRECTV programming.

• The antenna tracks the DIRECTV 101W

satellite only. It cannot receive
programming from other satellite TV
service providers and it cannot receive
channels broadcast on other satellites.

• The antenna must have a clear view of

the southern sky to receive satellite TV.
Common causes of blockage include
trees, building, bridges, and equipment
on the vessel itself.

• Heavy rain may temporarily interrupt

reception.
