Mobile Installation Manual Page 5 of 93
FCC and INDUSTRY CANADA INFORMATION TO THE USER:
The FCC and Industry Canada have imposed the following conditions when operating, installing
and deploying iNetVu
®
Mobile Earth Stations and is mandatory for all installations made within
the Continental United States and Canada as well as Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands and other U.S. Territories. The FCC requires that a certified installer perform the
installation. It is also strongly recommended that a qualified professional RV dealer/installer
mount the system on your vehicle. These conditions are also required by C-COM for all other
installed locations.
All iNetVu
®
Mobile earth station installers must be C-COM Certified, and must have specifically
acknowledged the requirements for iNetVu
®
Mobile installations, which are as follows:
1. “Installation” is the physical mounting and wiring of the Satellite provider’s earth station
on a vehicle or other stationary site in order to prepare for correct operation. Only
Certified C-COM iNetVu installers may perform the installation and removal of an
iNetVu
®
Mobile system.
2. “Deployment” means the raising, pointing and orienting of the earth station to the
communicating satellite, every time it is raised from a stowed position for use. The
deployment of an iNetVu
®
Mobile system must only be done by a trained installer or by a
consumer using the deployment software.
3. Installers shall install the iNetVu
®
systems only in locations that are not readily
accessible to children and in a manner that prevents human exposure to potential
radiation hazards.
4. For large vehicles with roof mounts, the height of the bottom lip of the earth station when
fully deployed must be at least six feet above the ground at all times, or six feet above a
surrounding surface which a person may easily access.
5. If a roof access ladder or any other means of access to the roof is installed on the
vehicle, then the ladder or access must be blocked by a suitable rope or other barrier
while the earth station is deployed or in operation. The installer must provide this rope
or barrier directly to the end user at the time of installation and advise the user to use it
at all times when the earth station is deployed or in operation. Warning signs shall also
be provided by the installer to the end user to be posted on the rope or other barrier
warning all persons not to attempt to access the roof of the vehicle while the earth
station is deployed or in operation.
6. Warning signs shall be posted at prominent locations on the earth station informing all
persons of the danger of harmful radiation from the earth station while it is deployed or
while in operation.
7. The iNetVu
®
Mobile system may only be operated when the vehicle is stationary.
8. The installer must inform the end user that the vehicle must be stabilized during the
transmission, to prevent movement of the vehicle for any reason, including movement of
persons on or off the vehicle, or high winds. The installer shall advise the end user how
to appropriately stabilize their vehicle.
9. Installers shall be liable for all damages if they fail to comply with the above mandatory
conditions. This includes, but is not limited to damages caused by improper installation
or due to the failure to provide required information to the end user.
10. Installers and end users will be deemed directly liable for any damages resulting from
either of their failure to comply with the above rules. These rules are meant to ensure
that extraordinary precautions and measures are used to prevent satellite interference or
exposure to harmful radiation. C-COM reserves the rights to immediately suspend
without liability or previous notice the operation of the earth station upon detection of
a deviation from its installation or operational requirements until the deviation is
