Restarting the Antenna
After resetting satellite parameters, it is necessary to restart the
antenna before the new settings take effect.
Turning Sleep Mode On/Off
Sleep Mode turns off conical scan tracking if the antenna holds
the same position for one minute. As soon as the vessel moves,
the system will automatically begin tracking the satellite again.
Turning Instant On Mode On/Off
Instant On allows the antenna to immediately receive a TV signal
if the vessel has not moved since the antenna was last shut off. If
the vessel moves after acquiring the satellite via Instant On, the
antenna will undergo its standard initialization process, resulting
in a brief interruption of the TV signal.
