Ignition mode:

The ignition mode is a safety feature that automatically 
lowers the antenna and prevents accidental operation whilst 
travelling.

When the Seeker has detected an active ignition circuit in the 
vehicle the Control Panel will display ‘IGNITION’. In this mode 
the antenna is automatically lowered and the Control Panel 
function is disabled.

Note:

 The Control Box must be wired to a 12V DC electrical 

circuit that is live when the vehicle’s ignition is on. This not only provides a safety benefit but also refreshes 
the Control Box memory which allows the Seeker Wireless to perform correctly.
 

Connecting to a Satellite Receiver:

The Seeker Wireless satellite system features a twin LNB for connection to a PVR or 2 separate receivers. 
One of the satellite cables must connect to the Control Box. The Control Box will then output this signal 
through the F connector marked ‘RECEIVER’. 

In order for the satellite signal to pass through the Control Box the power must be on.

Power consumption:

The Seeker Wireless has been designed to minimise power consumption. 

When not in use the system enters a sleep mode where wireless communication between the Control Panel 
and Box is suspended. This is where time and temperature are displayed on the Control Panel. 

When the Seeker is not used for long periods of time it is recommended to switch off the Control Panel and 
Box. The Ignition Mode will still activate even with the Control Box power switch in the off position.

When power is restored to the system the antenna will automatically lower into the park position. 

   

Pause function:

This function allows the user to change the desired satellite mid-way through a search operation without 
the need to lower the antenna. Whilst the seeker is in SEARCH mode press the Antenna Search Button 
to PAUSE the antenna. Select a new satellite using the Change Satellite UP/DOWN Buttons. Press the 
Antenna Search Button again to continue with the search.

Lowering the antenna:

Press the Antenna Down button to lower the antenna.
The display will show the animated icon lowering and text 
ANT DOWN flashing. When the ANT DOWN text stops 
flashing the antenna is lowered and safe for travelling.
