2. Tracking mode
When the antenna has found the selected satellite, the satellite indicator goes out for 1
second and lights up again. Now the satellite is logged in and the tracking indicator
(TRACKING) lights up.
Sometimes it happens that the antenna at first stops and locks onto a different satellite
(depending on your position, signal strength and weather conditions). In this case the
indicator of the different satellite lights up for a second and goes out again. The
antenna has now recognized that it has found the wrong satellite and moves to the
correct position.
The controller will remember which satellite it last found and will always look for that
one when it is switched on again.
Now you can enjoy TV.
3. Standby / Sleep mode
When your vehicle does not move for a longer time (antenna keeps position), the
antenna automatically falls into a "Sleep" mode (Standby). That means the tracking
movements will be stopped (to avoid tracking noise).
If the antenna position is changed (boat starts moving again) the antenna automatically
starts the tracking mode (TRACKING) or search mode (SEARCH), depending on how
much the antenna position has changed.
You can also manually activate the standby / sleep mode:
After logging in (TRACKING mode indicator lights up) push the "SATELLITE SELECT"
button once. Now the SLEEP mode indicator lights up in addition and the antenna
stops moving.
You can deactivate the SLEEP mode by pushing the "SATELLITE SELECT" button
once again.
If you completely switch off the antenna (e.g. overnight) the antenna will go to search
mode again after switching on the next day.
6. In case of problems
No reception / no picture:
a) Any obstacles (trees, buildings or roof constructions) between antenna and satellite?
Choose a different position or wait until your vehicle is in reception area of satellite
again.
b) Correct installation of antenna cables? Defective cables (broken)?
Pls check the cables!
c) Did you select the right satellite? Pls check wether the satellite you have selected in
your receiver corresponds with the satellite you have selected on control box.
d) Did you switch on control box and satellite receiver?
e) Power supply ok? Pls check power cable(s).
If you want to use a different cable (from antenna to control box):
Pls only use high quality and low loss co-ax cable. The F-plugs must be high quality types
as well, because besides the RF signal the power supply voltage for antenna passes this
cable. Minimum losses may have an effect on reception.
We strongly advise to use the supplied cables.
