These instructions describe the functions and operation of the Countryman GPS plus
satellite system. Correct and safe operation of the system can only be ensured by follo-
wing these instructions. Your Countryman GPS plus is an intelligent satellite TV reception
antenna system which can align itself towards a preset satellite automatically as long as

ment options. The last pages of the instructions cover various technical aspects of the
