symbol on the right-hand side of the display that indicates the status of the GPS
location. As long as it is blinking, the system is searching for the GPS location. When the symbol is continuously
displayed, the system has determined its GPS location.
The time needed for the determination of the GPS location is approximately 2 minutes (see also next remark).
After determination of the correct GPS location, the system will be able to find the satellite more quickly. It also
provides for the opportunity to set the correct LNB and bracket position to ensure optimal reception.
The correct position of the LNB and bracket is shown on the display for each satellite, which may be different per
selected satellite. When the GPS location has not been found (yet), by default this position will be 0 for LNB and 1
for bracket.
Remark:
In case of a weak GPS signal, it might not be possible to determine the location. Before the system can be used
without GPS fix, the system will search for 4 minutes and after antenna movement 2 minutes for GPS signal. Only
after this procedure the system can be used for satellite searching.
However, finding the satellite will take longer and the optimal position of the LNB and bracket will not be provided.
If the GPS signal improves during satellite search, then the system will stop to display the right LNB and bracket
positions
.(see also 3.6 Special remarks on searching for satellite)
You can browse through the preprogrammed satellites step by step.
By means of the arrow buttons located on the control module (buttons
4 and 5), For each satellite, the correct LNB position is shown on the
display.
Select the desired satellite, read off the corresponding LNB position from the display, and bring the LNB into this
position by turning the LNB holder accordingly (see image below).
(Note: The mentioned LNB position is just an example)
Additionally the correct position of LNB will be indicated after GPS location has been determined.
After you have correctly positioned the LNB, press the Start button (1)
When the GPS location is not yet found, the GPS position will be located with countdown from 4 minutes.
