Buttons and their Functions on the Receiver
¢ – Aerial positioning /
designating the satellite position and station
Aerial positioning
Pressing the ¢ button calls up a submenu with functions for adjusting the aerial and naming the stations and satellites. The diagram below provides you with an overview.
These functions have already been explained in the chapter "Basic Adjustment of the Polarmount Aerial".
Press the ¢ button (for the first time). The display indicates, for example:
TIMER o p ü +
I99 XMANX290 STEREO
SIGNAL IIIIIIIIIIIII
In this menu option, it is possible to manually drive the aerial between two set limits L1 (East) and L2 (West) by pressing the ¢< and ¢> button, respectively.
Press the ¢ button a second time. The display indicates, for example:
TIMER o p ü +
I99 XLEVXX74 STEREO
SIGNAL IIIIIIIIIIIII
When in this menu option, the numeric value of the reception level is indicated. The resolution of this indication is much higher than the bar display following the "SIGNAL" lettering (at the right in the display). With the help of the level indicati- on, it is possible to adjust the aerial by means of the ¢</ > buttons to optimum reception fieldstrength. (In the vicinity of the maximum value, press the buttons only briefly).
Press the ¢ button once again. The display indicates "L1 ...". In this menu option, you can set the east limit with the ¢</ > buttons. When the east end stop is reached, the display will indicate "EAST END".
Press the ¢ button once again. The display indicates "L2 ...". In this menu option, you can set the west limit with the ¢</ > buttons. When the west end stop is reached, the display will indicate "WEST END".
Designating the satellite position and station
Through pressing one of the ¢MODE and ¢MODE buttons when you are in the aerial menu (¢), you can designate the satellite position: in degrees of EAST or WEST direction. The display indicates, for example:
TIMER o p ü +
I99 EASTX19 ° STEREO
SIGNAL IIIIIIIIIIIII
You can allocate a value between 99° East and 99° West by means of the ¢< or ¢> button. In this way, you can allo- cate the satellite position the number of degrees at which the satellite stands in the orbit (see also section “Storing the satellite position“).
This allocation has already been done at the factory for the preprogrammed satellites. Prior to storing a position in memory, the aerial must be directed exactly at the correspon- ding satellite (as described further up).
The degree number of the satellite position is allocated the actual pulse number of the motor. This makes sure that the aerial is automatically driven into the correct position (pulse number of the aerial motor) when selecting a programme
position. If you press twice on one of the ¢MODE or ¢MODE buttons when in the MAN (manual aerial adjustment) or LEV menu option, you can change or allocate a new name with the help of the remote control handset. You can change the flas- hing character on the display with the cursor buttons ] on the remote control handset. Use the cursor buttons xcto displace the flashing entry position.
Now it is possible to:
Save the current setting with the ¢MEMORY button on the receiver. You return to the programme mode.
Save the current setting with the O button on the remote control handset. You pass automatically to the next programme position the station designation of which now can also be changed.
Quit the menu by pressing the ¢P/F button on the receiver. You return to the programme mode without saving the changed station designation.
Example:
You have selected programme position 184 and wish to change the station name. For this, pressone after the other the buttons ¢ ¢MODE ¢MODE . The display indi- cates:
I84XflARDXX | TIMER o p ü + |
STEREO | |
| SIGNAL IIIIIIIIIIIII |
|
|
The letter "A" of "ARD" is flashing (for stations without name, "fl " will appear). You can change this character with the cursor buttons ] (character sequence: A, B, C, … X, Y, Z, blank, 0, 1, … 8, 9, A, B, C ...). When pressing c, the second place "R" will flash and can be changed in the same way. After having entered the desired name, continue as described above.
