If the antenna will not move, check the following.
1.If you have been in an ice storm or freezing rain the mount may be frozen in place. Before checking any of the following steps visually inspect the mount.
2.Double check wiring at the back of positioner. Make sure wires have good contact with the connector plug.
3.Park system and then go to manual movement. Use UP arrow button to move to antenna up. The numbers displayed will go higher as you hold the button down. Hold the button down until you get a number higher than 6000.
4.Press LEFT arrow button to move antenna counterclockwise. The numbers will decrease from 30000.
