The 45 STV Satellite TV system provides uninterrupted television access to hundreds of TV channels in all types of weather conditions. On the open sea or at the dock, the 45 STV automatically identifies, acquires and tracks compatible signals from all digital video broadcast (DVB) satellites. D7943_ 1 However, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed, operated and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures contained in this handbook. INTENDED USE - The intended application for the Raymarine 45 STV Satellite TV system is for leisure marine boats and workboats not covered by IMO carriage regulations. IT IS NOT intended for installation and use in any other situation. Safety notices WARNING: Product installation This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this handbook. Failure to do so could result in poor product performance, personal injury and/or damage to your boat. CAUTION: In-line fuse If you do not have a breaker in the power circuit, an in-line 5 A quick blow fuse should be fitted to the positive (white) lead of the power cable. 4 Raymarine 45 STV Satellite TV System - Owner's Handbook CAUTION: Antenna unit cover To prevent damage to the antenna unit cover always use the base plate when lifting the unit. CAUTION: Connectors Take care not to damage the exposed connectors below the base plate when moving the unit. DO NOT use these connectors to lift the unit. CAUTION: Transit packaging Before installing or operating the unit, open the unit cover and remove the foam transit packaging inserts from the unit base. CAUTION: Antenna coating Application of paint or other finishes to the antenna unit exterior may degrade performance beyond acceptable limits. CAUTION: Product disposal When you want to dispose of this product (for example, at the end of its working life), please do so in accordance with local regulations. Geographic location Your Raymarine 45 STV Satellite TV system is programmed to receive signals from either North American TV satellites or European TV satellites according to your location. You cannot receive North American TV satellite signals on a European system, or European TV satellite signals on a North American system. If your geographic location changes it will be necessary to change the antenna low noise block (LNB) for one appropriate to the area in which you are operating. You may also need to change your IRD(s) and TV receivers. For full details of changing your geographic area of operation refer to "Satellite coverage by geographic location" on page 62. Television reception For full functionality of your Raymarine 45 STV Satellite TV system, it is necessary to subscribe to the relevant service(s) from the appropriate service provider(s). Full details of service providers can be found in "Satellite information" on page 57.
