4.Set the Motor Control option to Goto. Then the antenna will turn toward your selected satellite by the position data that the digital receiver has.

5.If the receiving quality, which is displayed at the bottom right of the screen, is not good, tune the antenna finely with the Movement option. If you set it to 2(E), the an- tenna will move to the east by two degrees. At this time you had better check the receiving quality of every trans- ponder and choose the best one at the Transponder (or Frequency) option. It will be helpful to your fine tuning.

6.Finally set the Motor Control option to Store to save the tuned position when the receiving quality is best.

There are more motor control options for installers, but this guide does not describe them. If you are an installer, refer them to the manual about the STAB rotor.

4.1.3 Configuring USALS settings

USALS (Universal Satellite Automatic Location System), also known as DiSEqC 1.3, calculates the positions of all available satellites from your location. Compared to DiSEqC 1.2, it is no longer required to manually search and store every satellite position. Just pointing to a known satellite position is enough. This position will act as a central point. The USALS will then calculate positions of visible satellites.
