3) Choose a different channel number (e.g. 15), still however belonging to the group
transmitted by the satellite you want (in this case, Astra)
4) After a few seconds, Magic Sat 2002A will start seeking for the chosen channel
(channel 15) and will repeat the steps listed above.
SAFETY FUNCTION
If, for any reason (trees, ice, etc.), the antenna is not able to move freely during the
operation, it will stop at once and the following message will be displayed:
After having verified the reason for the blockage, press the DOWN key and then remove
the cause.
TIPS on the best use of Magic Sat 2002A
When you park your vehicle, make sure that:
1) The view towards the South is free of any nearby obstacles. Any obstacle (trees or
buildings) between the satellite and the antenna prevent proper
2) No obstacle (for example trees) is too near your antenna, preventing it from moving
freely. No metal or glass wall is very near (about 5 m) the antenna, since this would act
as a mirror for satellite signals and could induce the antenna to point towards it.
3) In case of snow or ice actuating the Magic Sat 2002A free it in order to avoid wasting
battery power in order to lift it.
4) If you decide to turn the engine of your vehicle on in order to re-charge its batteries, with
the safety cable connected to the ignition key, the antenna, if lifted, will come down
automatically and it will not be possible to lift it again as long as the engine is running.
5) Make sure that your batteries are always sufficiently charged, since, if the voltage falls
below 10 Volts, the Magic Sat Digita electronic safety circuit will prevent the antenna
from rising.
6) Should you use 12 Volt feeders instead of batteries in order to feed the Magic Sat
2002A, be careful to use high quality stabilized feeders with a supplied power of at least
10A. At all costs, avoid using low quality, non stabilized battery feeders.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
If the Magic Sat 2002A has not found the satellite after a complete search,
:
a) Is the view towards the South free from any obstacle?
b) Is the place you are at within the reception area of the satellite you have chosen?
c) Is the cable connecting the LNB to the antenna firmly fastened? It could have been
ripped off or come loose because of contact with an unexpected
d) Are all the connections on the Control Unit properly set up?
