Foreword

This user manual will explain to you how to install a motorised

installation with a motor ref: 450908.

Such installation needs some operations, on the motor, but also

on the satellite receiver you would like to use with it.

As the motor can work with all types of receivers, it is impossible

to be precise on the kind of operations that you will have to do

on your receiver. We then advise you to read both user manual

very carefully (this one and the one from the receiver) to identify

what you will have to do on the remote control. That will allow

you to do the necessary operations for each of them. These are

some small advices to help.
