9 Operating a rotary antenna installation (DiSEqC 1.2)
Your digital receiver is ready to operate a motorised rotary antenna installation The DiSEqC control function (DiSEqC level 1.2) allows you to control a suitable motor via the co- axial cable.
>Call up the menu Antenna settings as described under Point 6.4 (Fig.
>Now use the up/down arrow keys to select the DiSEqC position (e.g. A/B 3) to which you wish to allocate the motorised antenna.
>Press OK to open a window allowing you to select a Satellite resp. the option Motor antenna. (Fig.
>Use the up/down arrow keys to select the line Motor antenna and confirm by pressing OK.

9.1 Eastern and Western limits
To avoid potential mechanical damage to the dish antenna or the LNC by any obstacles, you must first determine the maximum range of movement/rotation in both an easterly and westerly direction. If there are any obstacles within the rotating range of the antenna, such as walls or chimnies,these must definitely be considered when setting the easterly and westerly limits.
If there are no obstacles within the rotating range of the dish, then set the limits of the rotation in such a manner that the dish can move a little further than is strictly speaking required to receive signals from the most extremely positioned satellites.
9.1.1 Deleting existing limits
You should first of all delete any existing limit settings.
