Starting search mode:
1.
Turn on Control Box and Control Panel
2.
If Control Panel is in sleep mode displaying clock/temp press any button to wake panel
3.

4.
Press Antenna Search button
Note:
If the search button is not pressed within 3 seconds of selecting a new satellite the seeker will
revert back to the last acquired satellite.
The antenna icon will animate and SEARCH will be displayed whilst the Seeker Wireless is searching for
the chosen satellite.
When SAT FOUND is displayed the satellite has been located. After 10 seconds the Control Panel will enter
Sleep Mode and display the time and temperature.
Note:
Search time is dependent on the change in elevation from last location. The Seeker will start the
search routine from the last known elevation angle of the antenna. This greatly reduces the search time
which will typically be less than 1 minute.
The first search from the factory set position may take as much as 15 minutes.
If the Seeker cannot find the desired satellite it will automatically return to the Park position and display
NO SAT FOUND on the Control Panel. If this occurs please check the following:
• Antenna has clear line of sight to satellite
• Your location is within range of satellite – as shown on zone map
• All cables are correctly installed
Finding a satellite:
Before starting check there is a clear line of sight to the southern sky. All television broadcasting satellites have
a geostationary orbit which means their location is fixed above the earth’s equator. Satellites also have a limited
range of transmission so use the Zone maps included in the appendix to check your location is suitable for
reception. If your location is near the limit of reception it is recommended to adjust the skew angle of the LNB
to maximise signal quality and strength (see page 16 for details)
Note:
The Seeker Wireless works independently from a Satellite Receiver. Therefore, any satellite receiver can
be used. Ensure the TV and Satellite Receiver are connected in accordance to the manufacturer’s instructions.
