3. Control elements
3.1. Control unit
The EPAK-TV system is controlled by the control unit. See below a short overview of the key functions:

Power key : Shortly pressed will turn on power or will enter Standby mode.

Browse key: Shortly pressed will browse through all available menus and setups or will cancel a
current process.

Select key: Shortly pressed will select/confirm what is written in the display.
Note! From the Standby mode: Press and hold the Select key while using the Browse key to scroll
through available data: serial no., counter operation time, and software versions ( see chapter 6.3.).
3.2. Preparing the receiver
EPAK-TV does not need a special receiver. The satellite tracking system can be connected to any
commercial receiver for digital and analogue reception. Only the LNB-type in the setup menu of the
receiver has to be set on “Universal” (LOF 9,75/10,6 Ghz). If you want several satellite positions, the
DiSEqC ™ function for an automatic satellite switch has to be activated (not valid for Quattro antennas)
To program your receiver, please refer to the respective owner's manual!
!!
For every satellite at least one program must be preprogrammed in the receiver to control the satellite
position of the antenna unit by means of the TV picture quality. If not, pre-program the receiver by using
an already installed satellite system!
!!
In case the receiver supports the function, adjust the receiver so that the power supply of the LNB is
turned off during the Standby-mode. This means that the control unit and the antenna unit are without
power supply. This function enables the turning on and off of the antenna unit via remote control of the
receiver, which lowers the power consumption.
!!
In case several receivers are connected to the antenna simultaneously (e.g. a digital receiver with
looped through analogue receiver) both receivers must have identical DiSEqC ™ settings, i.e. both
active or inactive.
3.3. Power on / off / Standby
The antenna unit is controlled by the control unit. By pressing the

(Power) key, the initialization starts.
The initialization will finish by showing
Setup
on the display ( if no stallites are stored). If the antenna
was aligned to a stored satellite before the antenna was turned off, it will try to regain that satellite. Press
the

(Power) key again, to return to the Standby mode.
!! If the control unit is in Standby mode there will be no power supply to the antenna.
