Work through these checks
01 · SELFSAT SNIPE DOME · original
Match the exact model, product code and manual edition. Record the existing connections, status indicators and displayed error without changing them. Preserve settings and stored data; do not reset, flash software, format storage or alter wiring as a first check. Keep account details, device identifiers and precise location private.
02 · CONTROLLER / RECEIVER / STAND BY / GPS / SATELLITE
Match the original SNIPE DOME and manual V1.0, not DOME 2, DOME AIR or SNIPE DRIVE. Identify the black CONTROLLER and grey RECEIVER paths without swapping them. Record STAND BY, GPS and selected SATELLITE lights. Steady STAND BY indicates the basic position, not proof of TV reception; SATELLITE flashes during search and becomes steady when found. GPS can flash during a satellite-information update. Record the target and receiver message before blaming the dome. Keep the cover fitted and stay clear of moving hardware; do not open, force, flash or alter wiring first. Historical satellite lists do not establish current service availability.
