3. OPERATING THE SYSTEM

3.1 Switching the system on / off

Caution!

When switching on the "Oyster® TV" Premium system with integrated receiver, the antenna will start the auto-
matic satellite search. The receiver needs up to one minute to initialise after being switched on. The antenna then 
folds up and starts the automatic satellite search.

Before switching on the "Oyster® TV" Premium system, make sure that the opening antenna does not face any 
obstacles such as branches or garage door.

Use the remote control to select a channel. The antenna will aim itself automatically.

For safety reasons, the antenna retracts when the ignition is switched on. Reactivating the antenna requires the 
"Oyster® TV" Premium system to be rebooted (switch the system off and back on).

SYNCHRONISING THE ANTENNA SYSTEM WITH THE RECEIVER

If the antenna retracts automatically for any reason, then switch off the "Oyster® TV" Premium system. 

Automatic retraction may have the following causes: 

•  Automatic safety check of the antenna system 

•  Operating voltage below minimum value 

•  Ignition is switched on and off again after a short period

After the antenna has retracted, the "Oyster® TV" Premium system can be switched back on again.
