NORMAL OPERATION
Continuing Tracking	With the INTRAC-305 operating normally it will be in Tracking
	Mode and will require no operator input.
	Should it become necessary to move the antenna off satellite
	for some reason, such as to stow it because of wind, all that
	is required to resume tracking is to select Auto Continue.
	(after the antenna has been unstowed)
To Track a new Satellite	Set the Beacon Frequency.
	Set the Polarisation angle if motorised Pol fitted.
	Point the antenna at the required satellite using Manual
	control, Goto Position or Goto Satellite.
	Peak the antenna on the beacon signal using Manual control
	or Search.
	When the antenna is peaked on the beacon signal cause the
	INTRAC to enter Learning Mode by selecting Auto New
	Model.
	After 24 hours of learning the INTRAC will automatically enter
	Tracking Mode.
Note	If Auto Continue is selected instead of Auto New Model and
	the previous model has not been cleared the antenna will
	drive back to the previous satellite and continue tracking it.
	If the beacon signal is lost the INTRAC will enter Predicting
	Mode. It will then track the satellite by predicting from the
	model for a period of time depending on how long it has been
	learning. If Tracking Mode had been achieved before the
	signal is lost the INTRAC will track in Predicting Mode for up
	to 72 hours after which time it will deem the model to no
	longer be accurate enough.
	When the beacon signal returns, if the INTRAC is still in
	Predicting Mode, Tracking Mode will be resumed. If the
	INTRAC has entered Standby, due to the period without
	signal being too long, Learning Mode will have to be invoked
	from the front panel.
