FUNCTIONS OF YOUR MotoSAT SYSTEM

AUTOMATIC SEARCH AND LOCK ON THE CORRECT SATELLITE

MotoSAT gives you on-screen control of your satellite system. No matter where you find yourself in the United States, your system is smart enough to make sure you have connected to the satellite of your choice. Simply choose “Find Satellite” on the Main Menu screen displayed on your TV and follow the on-screen instructions.

STOWING THE DISH

Stowing the dish is only necessary when using the MotoSAT Executive “open face” dish, which does need to be stowed for traveling. You have the option of stowing the dish from the on-screen controls, or by pressing and holding the ON button of the Positioner for more than 10 seconds.

QUICK RE-ACQUIRING OF LAST KNOWN SATELLITE

Sometimes you may have wanted to stow the dish because of high winds of some other reason. As long as the vehicle has not moved, you may choose this option from the main menu and the dish will rise up and go directly to the satellite with out having to do a search pattern.

MOVING THE DISH TO ANOTHER SATELLITE

You have the option of moving your dish to another satellite at will when a different satellite has different programming. To change satellites while you’re watching TV, press the OFF button on the remote…this action will bring up the MotoSAT Power Off menu that allows you to switch to another satellite. Here you may highlight the satellite you wish to move to.

NOTE – All MotoSAT systems normally come with only one Satellite location. Adding other satellite locations is easy. All you need are the “working” satellite longitudes from your dealer and enter these longitudes in the “Add or Remove Satellite” menu.

RE-PEAKING ON SATELLITE IF RIG HAS SETTLED

If you own a bus or other rig that settles over time, this option is for you. Instead of stowing and relocating the satellite, which is time consuming, you may simply choose “Re-Peaking” and the dish will begin to re-peak on the satellite to strengthen the signal. To get to the repeaking options, simply press the OFF button on the remote and the “Power Off Button” menu will appear.

NOTE – You must be on the satellite for this function to work. Re-Peaking only recenters the dish on the satellite.

ADDING AND REMOVING SATELLITES

Normally, your MotoSAT dish will come with 1 satellite location. You have the ability to add other satellites to your system, and then quickly move the dish to each of them any time you like.

To ADD a satellite, please go to the “Add or Remove Satellite” menu.

SAFETY STOWING OPTIONS

Your MotoSAT system has certain Stow features that you may desire to use or not. There are three options:

•You can automatically stow dish if the power goes off on the Satellite Receiver.

•You can automatically stow the dish if AC power is lost to the rig.

•You can automatically stow the dish of the signal is lost. This feature is good if you accidentally move the rig without stowing the dish first.

To change any of these items, please go to the “Options” menu screen.

CHANGING DISH SIZE

Your installer normally sets this function. You have the option of choosing an 18” dish or a 24” dish. Default is 18”. This setting is found on the “Options” menu screen. (MiniDome is same as 18” dish).
