4. Tap the field Satellite . A new window is displayed. Tap and scroll to find the wanted
satellite, then tap on a satellite to select it. The list is sorted as follows: 180°W -> 0°
-> 180°E.
5. Configure the tracking properties.
Automatic :
The system will automatically determine which signal to track on, based on an
automatic frequency and transponder scan of the satellite.
If the vessel moves out of coverage of the transponder currently being tracked, the
system will initiate a new frequency and transponder scan and find another
transponder to track, on the same satellite (assuming the vessel is still in coverage
of the satellite).

Note
At some longitudes, multiple satellites are co-located. In this
case, it is not important which is chosen as long as the
longitude is correct. The chosen satellite will be the one the
system tracks, but it will receive and forward the TV signals
from all the co-located satellites.
Note
During frequency and transponder scan, TV reception is
possible. Thus, Automatic tracking is not slower than manually
configured tracking parameters.
