10.3.2 Adjusting the satellite antenna

>When you have completed setting the test transponder, press the Back key to return to the menu for setting the motorised antenna.

>Use the arrow keys to mark the panel fort he entry of the orbital position of the User-Satellites.

>Use the numeric keys to enter the orbital position of the user satellite.

>Now press the OK key appropriately to indicate whether this is a westerly (W) or an easterly (E) orbital position.

If the Geo-Positioning function (Point 10.2) is set to on, you can now use the function turn to sat (Point 10.4.1) to rotate the dish to the programmed user satellite position.

If the Geo-positioning function is switched off, you must rotate the dish to the desired satellite position manually (Point 10.3.2.2).

10.3.2 Adjusting the satellite antenna

A test transponder has been set for each satellite, to allow you to point the antenna at the desired satellite or to determine whether you are able to receive the desired satellite at the position set. You can only adjust the antenna precisely once the signal strength and signal quality of the test transponder have been displayed.

10.3.2.1 Test transponder/LNB configuration

To change the data of the test transponder in question, proceed as follows:

>Use the arrow keys to mark the field Current satellite list.

>Press the OK key to open the satellite list.

>Use the up/down arrow keys to mark the satellite position for which you wish to change the data and confirm with OK.

>Use the arrow keys to mark the field LNB Config. and press OK. The menu LNB settings will be displayed.

>In this menu, enter the data of the test transponder as well as of the LNB used as described in Point 6.4.4.

>Press the Back key to return to the settings for the motorised antenna.

10.3.2.2 Positioning antenna manually

You can determine the optimum position for the desired satellite by monitoring the indicators for signal strength and signal quality. Adjust the dish so that both bar graphs show a maximum value.

>Use the arrow keys up/down to mark the field save.

>Now use the arrow keys right (to mark the field East) resp. left (to mark the field West) to rotate the dish to the desired position. In each case keep the key pressed down until the position has been reached

As soon as the reflector has finished the rotating procedure the receiver will automatically check the orbital position and shows this, insofar as it is obtainable, in the lower part of the menu.

10.3.2.3 Automatic fine adjustment (Autofocus)

Before saving a satellite position, you should perform the automatic focussing function. In this, the dish is calibrated for optimum reception.
