3.3 Advisory tones / warning tones
Your FeatureBox has a sound signal generator to alert you in special situations.
3.3.1 Warning tones traffic safety
When the ignition is activated with open antenna, a single short beep is triggered. This serves as a warning that
the antenna is still open and needs some time to fully run in.
If the system cannot completely run in when the ignition is activated, a permanent warning tone sounds.
3.3.2 Warning tones for on-board voltage
If you hear a short triple beep while the antenna is receiving, check the charge level of your on-board battery.
This warning tone is repeated every minute while the on-board voltage is low. If the on-board voltage continues
to drop, the warning tone repeats every 15 seconds.
If a triple warning tone sounds immediately after the system is switched on, the system cannot be run out be-
cause the on-board voltage is too weak.
3.4 Safety instructions
Safety functions of the satellite system:
Under certain circumstances, the antenna can (re-)retract on its own.
For example:
- An internal defect is detected while running out.
- The on-board voltage supply in the vehicle falls below a critical value during the movement of the system.
- Terminal 15/D+ is active or was active for a short moment.

3.5 Malfunctions
Stop function
It must be possible to stop the movement of the antenna at any time. A satellite search can be paused or inter-
rupted by the Stop button on the remote control of the Oyster® TV or the Power button on the FeatureBox. After
pressing one of these buttons, no more control commands are accepted and therefore, for example, no more
satellites are changed.
Resetting the stop function
This stop function is cancelled by a new movement command, e.g. by pressing the start button on the remote
control for the Oyster® TV or the power button on the FeatureBox.
Error description
Troubleshooting
No signal could be received
when searching for a satellite.
Do you have a clear view to the south?
Are you within the reception range of the set search satellites?
Would your location or Skew angle of the LNB need to be changed?
The system does not run out or
run in correctly.
Do objects protrude into the antenna's moving range?
Too weak a power supply (low battery)?
The antenna does not react
after switching on or does not
respond to commands.
Is the fuse ok?
Are all connections plugged correctly?
FeatureBox signal tone.
If the system receives the run-in command from terminal 15 / D+ line (it
is essential that it is connected correctly), but no feedback is given to the
FeatureBox, a signal tone will sound. Check whether the system has run
in.
