4. TV operation
Press the

key to turn on the control unit. The display shows
Init
for initialization. After the
initialization is completed, the display interchanges between
scanning
and
Sat X
(X represents the
last shown storage position), if the antenna was aligned to a stored satellite before the antenna was turned
off, until the satellite has been located. The system will now run a check on the satellite:
checking
appears on the display. If it is ok, the display will briefly show
complete
and then return to
Sat X
. The
antenna will maintain its connection to the satellite even when the boat is moving. (Providing that the
Tracking
function is active (
On
in the Setup menu), see chapter 3.5).
If you wish to select a different satellite, press

repeatedly until the desired satellite position appears
and confirm with

.
!!
If no satellites are stored, the display will show
Setup
(flashing). Now you are back in the main menu
and can add new satellites (see chapter 5.1).
If the recovery for the satellite takes more than 1 minute, even though there is a free line of sight to the
satellite, or if, after several times of finding the right satellite, the display shows
upd reco
interchanging with the actual satellite number, the satellite data base has to be updated, see chapter 5.2.
!! The menu item
Upd Sat
is not shown when the
Tracking
function is deactivated (see chapter
4.1).
If, after the search of the satellite, the display shortly shows
complete
and afterwards
Sat X
without
a picture on the TV, there are two possibilities:
1. The satellite service provider has changed the transponders or it is the wrong satellite. In order to proof
the right satellite has been found, try to switch to other programs on the receiver. If all other programs
are in their usual places, you need to reprogram your receiver for the program which has changed.
Please refer to the manual of the receiver.
2. US only: In case no program can be received, try to turn
Off
the
Fastscan
function (see chapter
6.4).
When changes are made, return to
Sat X
and press

for the recovery. If the recovery of the satellite
takes longer than 4 minutes and after some time the display shows
scanning
interchanging with
Sat X
(and
there is a free line of sight),
then the requested satellite could not be found.
In this case it is recommended to delete this satellite position like shown in chapter 5.3 and
search it and restore it again like shown in chapter 5.1.
If the antenna loses the signal from the satellite (due to a passing boat, buildings on shore, bridges, or
superstructures on own boat), the display will show
blocked
for the duration of the missing satellite
reception.
Depending on the situation the recovery will start automatically. The display interchanges between
scanning
and
Sat X
. In case superstructures obstruct the view to the satellite, turn the vessel or the
satellite cannot be found!
!! To
select a stored satellite, refer to chapter 5.4.
