If you are uncomfortable with any part of the installation process, do not attempt – contact a professional to install your Starlink. Starlink is not responsible for injury or damage caused to property due to the installation process. Please be aware that inclement weather (e.g., heavy rain, snow, or wind) can affect your satellite internet connection,
potentially leading to slower speeds or a rare outage. The Starlink will detect and melt snow that falls directly on it; however, accumulating snow around the Starlink may block the field of view. We recommend installing Starlink in a location that avoids snow build-up and other obstructions from blocking the field of view.
If your Starlink App displays a “Motors Stuck” alert, your Starlink may be mounted in a way that it cannot reach its optimal angle to connect with the satellites. We advise mounting your Starlink within 5 degrees of vertical. Mounting your Starlink in a horizontal position (e.g., on the side of your chimney), will not allow it to operate.

WARNING! Mounts are not designed for high winds or hurricane / tornado wind loads. Tethering should be used inall cases to prevent failure in an unexpected wind event.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION

If Starlink is used in a lightning-prone area, an external lightning protection system (lightning rod, ground rod, surgprotector, etc.) may reduce product susceptibility to lightning. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the product from the wall AC outlet and
disconnect the antenna cable. This may prevent damage tothe product from lightning and power line surges.
