In the menu used to enter the geographical latitude, enter the value, rounded to one decimal place (50,2).

The same method is used to calculate the decimal value of the degrees longitude for your location.

10.3 Setting a satellite position

For each satellite position to be added, consecutively work through Points 10.3.1 to 10.3.3. When programming satellite positions, we recommend you start with the satellite that has the most Easterly orbital position. Continue by adding the other satellites, working your way through in a Westerly direc- tion, until you have reached the satellite with the most Westerly orbital position. Your digital receiver is pre-pro- grammed at the factory for the most popular satellite posi- tions. In addition, you can configure user-defined satellite positions (User 1 to User 13) for any orbital position desired.

10.3.1 Selecting a satellite position

10.3.1.1 Selecting a pre-programmed satellite position

> To add a satellite position to the satellite list, use the arrow keys to mark the field Sat new.

> Confirm by pressing OK.

A list of the available satellite positions will be dis- played. (Fig. 10-10)

> Now use the arrow keys up/down to mark a satellite position you wish to add to the satellite list.

> Press the OK key to accept the selection.

(Fig. 10-10)

If the Geo-positioningfunction (Point 10.2) is switched

 

 

on, the dish will now be automatically rotated to the pro-

 

grammed satellite position. The rotating procedure will be

 

indicated by the blinking text display “turn”.

 

If the Geo-positioningfunction is switched off, you must

 

rotate the dish to the desired satellite position manually

 

(Point 10.3.2.2).
