You may wish to face your tent south or east to catch the morning sun. Do not pitch your tent under trees, in water drainages, or on ridge tops. A S S E M B L I N G T H E P O L E S Unfold the tent body and lay it flat on the ground with the door unzipped. Unfold the shock-corded tent poles so they spring together gently. Make sure that each insert from each pole section is fully engaged into the next pole section, otherwise you will damage the tubing (F i g u r e 1). insert F i g u r e 1 P I T C H I N G T H E T E N T 1.Spread the tent out evenly (Figure 2). In the illustration, the dotted lines represent the five long purple poles and the dashed lines represent the five shorter black poles. Adjust all grommet tabs to the same length.

F i g u r e 7 Fly Tent body 7.There are three clear UVX widows on the Satellite tent body. The Satellite comes with three window covers which can be attached either inside the tent (as shown in F i g u r e 8) or outside the tent over the windows. Place the widow covers on the outside to protect the windows from direct sun. Place them on the inside of the tent if you wish to use the storage pockets sewn to the window covers. F i g u r e 8 Pocket 7.The Satellite is a floorless tent, designed for use in snow and rugged terrain. An optional floor/footprint can be purchased to create a removable waterproof floor. Attach this floor by clipping the snap hooks which are sewn to it to the O-rings located on the inside tent perimeter (F i g u r e 9) . F i g u r e 9 Tent body Optional floor/ footprint H O W T O C A R E FOR Y O U R T E N T O N T H E T R A I L S t o r m p r o o f i n g Y o u r Tent Even though most of our tents are free-standing, we recommend you always stake out your tent to prevent it from flying away in a gust of wind. Secure all stake-out webbing loops located on the perimeter of the tent. Attach all external guy lines to tent pole intersections (F i g u r e 1 0). F i g u r e 1 0 Pole intersection Guy line Use your internal guy system for extreme weather condi- tions and high winds. The internal guy system consists of pieces of cord (96” long) and line tighteners (F i g u r e 1 1). As the wind increases, increase the tension by tightening the line tighteners. F i g u r e 1 1 U l t r a v i o l e t ( U V ) Light Ultraviolet light degrades lightweight tent fabric (and almost any synthetic material). UV light will cause the fabric to fade, lose strength, and eventually disintegrate. The canopy of the Satellite consists of an UV-resistant, waterproof, titanium dioxide membrane laminated to a 40-denier polyester ripstop fabric. While this titanium dioxide membrane is practically UV-proof, the polyester fabric is not. The best way to prolong the life of any tent is to keep it out of the sun as much as possible. Pitch the tent in a shady spot whenever possible. By striking (taking the tent down) in the morning and repitching the tent late in the day, you will add to any tent’s longevity. F o o d S t o r a g e Never store food in your tent. Animals will often tear or bite their own entrance into a tent to get at your food.
