6. Insert the adjustment tool into the elevation adjustment port. Press down until it is
completely engaged
7. Fine tune the azimuth angle by turning the tool clockwise or counterclockwise while you
observe the display for best possible signal strength.
8. Unscrew the two screws for the cover for the elevation adjustment port.
9. Remove the adjustment tool from the azimuth adjustment port.
10.Locate the elevation adjustment port in the slot and insert the adjustment tool.
11. Turn the adjustment tool to obtain the calculated elevation look angle shown in the
display. You can see the current elevation next to the calculated elevation in the display
and on the mechanic scale on the side of the antenna positioner.
12.Observe the display for appearing signal strength bars. When the signal is detected,
slowly scan the azimuth angle back and forth to maximize the signal strength (the
number
SIG
in the display). Make sure to scan at least ±3° after the initial signal
indication.
13.Once the azimuth angle is adjusted, slowly scan the elevation angle up and down until
the signal strength is at its maximum.
14.Repeat steps 12 and 13 until the signal strength is at its maximum.
15.At the peak of the signal press
OK
. This sends a command to the integrated GX modem
to allow the transmission of data.
16.When the connection is established, the display shows
ACQUISITION OK.
