2. Installation
2. Installation
1. Turn on the TV and the set-top box. The green LNB LED on the display of the control
box lights up when the satellite receiver is turned on and a supply voltage for the LNB
is available.
2. Turn on the control unit. Then, the indicator of the preset satellites lights red. Shortly
thereafter, the LED starts to flash for about 5 seconds. Only this time you can select
another satellite by press the white key. Each press of the button, the display will conti-
nue to a satellite position. Press it as long until the desired satellite is flashing. Now the
search is started.
3. When a satellite is found, the antenna stop
and carries out a fine-tuning. Then begins
to identify the satellite identification (ID).
This process can be tracked on the display.
After successful identification „LOCKED“
appears in the display. Should not be identified the satellite of your choice, the antenna
corrected the position. Once the satellite is correct, the display will show it (eg ID:AS1).
After a successful search, the receiver is assured by the antenna.
4. The Seaman has a tracking function, which allows to receive even while driving a per-
manent signal. This is fully automatic and requires no adjustments to the equipment.
5. The antenna is constantly moving in order to detect any changes in the position. If your
vehicle at a fixed location, the movement of the antenna cause irritating noises. There-
fore press the „SLEEP“ button on the control unit to turn off the tracking function of the
antenna. To activate the automatic positioning again, please restart the control unit.
6. When the tracking function is not disabled and there was no movement on the ve-
hicle at least for 10 min., the function is switched off automatically. If the antenna or
the vehicle moves easily (eg walking in the vehicle), the tracking function is activated
automatically.
Note:
Change of satellite at any time, use the satellite selection keys.

The following settings are only for the Seaman 37
(without AutoSkew).
Signals in the vertical (red) and horizontal (blue) line
have an offset of exactly 90° to each other. Due to the
different position of the satellites, depending on your
location, it is possible that the signals do not meet
exactly vertically and horizontally on the LNB. To ad-
just this, turn the LNB into the correct position to the
transmitted signal. This adjustment to the LNB is called
„skew adjustment“. The following figure shows the op-
timal setting of the LNB. More accurate the match, the
better of reception.
