Execute channel search
Use the

buttons to select (Yes or No) whether you want to start a channel search. It is not
essential to start a channel search; instead you can use the factory pre-programmed channels. However
the channels do change from time to time (e.g. their frequencies change), which the receiver does
not automatically detect, and can then be found only by performing a channel search.
If you selected “No”, you can press the

(green) button to skip directly to the next item of the fi rst
installation.
If you selected “Yes”, you can press the

button to progress to the next selection item.
Channel Search Mode
Use the

buttons to select whether you want to search “free & scrambled”, “only free” or
“only scrambled” channels.
The UFS 641 does not allow encrypted channels to be viewed, because no Common Interface
is
fi tted for insertion of the necessary CA modules and smart cards.
Press the

button to move to the next selection item.
Network Search
If you set the “Network Search” to “Off”, only the factory stored transponders of the satellites you
previously selected will be scanned for new and as yet unlisted channels.
If you set the “Network Search” to “On”, the transponder network enables additional transponders that
have not yet been stored to be located. They are then stored and searched for new channels in the
same way as the existing transponders.
Press the

(green) button to start the channel search, or if you set channel search to “Off” you are
guided straight to the next item in the fi rst installation process.
When the search has been completed, you will see the following on-screen display (example):
