Manual satellite search
The manual search is usually used to fine-tune the antenna to a found
satellite under adverse reception conditions. If you wish to receive
signals from a new satellite that is not yet stored as a search satellite in
the control unit, the manual search function can be used to tune the
system to this satellite.
Firstly, switch your receiver to a pre-programmed station that is
transmitted by the desired satellite.
At the control panel, press until the message "Manual search" appears
in the display. After pressing
, use the arrow keys to change the
position of the antenna in increments. First, the pivot angle needs to be
adjusted. To change between the pivot angle and the elevation angle,
press and hold
and
at the same time
press one of the arrow keys.
Using the arrow keys, adjust the system around both axes to the
strongest receivable signal.
After having set the antenna to an optimal reception, you can store this
position for the current location by pressing
again.
The stored position will then be resumed the next time the system is
switched back on. Even if no satellite signal is received in this position,
the automatic search will
not
be started if you have stored a manually set
position before. If you wish, start the automatic search via the menu (see
page 8).
If the "Manual search" is cancelled by pressing
, the current position
is not stored. The system returns to the default position.
