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 boat 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 button "SLEEP" and the
antenna stops moving.
You can deactivate the SLEEP mode by pushing the "SLEEP" 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 (big ships, buildings or roof constructions) between antenna and
satellite?
Choose a different position with a clear line of sight to the satellite.
b) Correct installation of antenna cables? Defective cables (broken)?
Please check the cables!
c) Did you select the right satellite? Please check whether the satellite you have selected
on your receiver corresponds with the satellite you have selected on the control box.
d) Did you switch on both the control box and satellite receiver?
e) Power supply ok? Please check power cable(s).
If you want to use a different cable (from antenna to control box):
Only use high quality. low loss coax cable. The F-plugs must be high quality types as well,
because as well as the RF signal, the power supply voltage for the antenna passes down
this cable. Even small losses may have an effect on reception.
We strongly advise to use the supplied cables.
