WEEE - reference of disposal
In accordance with European defaults used electrical and electronics devices may no more be
given to the unsorted waste. The symbol of the waste bin on wheels refers to the necessity of
separate collection. Please help with environmental protection and see to it that this device
is given to the for this purpose designated systems of waste sorting if you do not use it any
longer. DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU of the EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF the COUNCIL of 4 July
2012 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

•
Check package contents for completeness.
•
Connect your LNB to the F-connector “TO LNB” on the left-side of the Sat fi nder with the jumper cable provided.
•
Connect the cable of your receiver to the F-connector “TO REC” on the left-side of the Sat fi nder.
•
Turn on the receiver. If the cable is properly connected, the display of the Sat fi nder lights up.
•
Roughly align your antenna in the desired sky direction.
Please note: In Europe you should use the south as a starting point for the alignment of the antenna. All free-to-air
satellites are located on the southern horizon.
•
The level control regulates the signal reception of the Sat fi nder. For an optimal alignment of your antenna, please turn
the level control clockwise (which increases the sensitivity of the Sat fi nder) until the pointer of the backlit display shows a
value around 5.
•
Now start to align the antenna more precisely by turning it slowly to the left or to the right (horizontal alignment). Make
sure to fi nd also the correct angle of inclination (vertical alignment). The Sat fi nder produces an acoustic signal that beco-
mes louder the better the antenna is aligned.
Please note: If the pointer of the backlit display shows full defl ection, please turn the level control counterclockwise (which
decreases the sensitivity of the Sat fi nder) until the pointer shows again a value around 5.
•
When the acoustic signal reaches the highest level and the pointer shows the highest defl ection, the antenna is ideally
positioned.
•
The 4 LED on the Sat fi nder indicate the receiver settings:
Polarisation
13 V = vertical
18 V = horizontal
Signal
0 kHz = Low Band
22 kHz = High Band
•
Check if you receive the desired channel on the receiver. Finally remove the connector cable and the Sat fi nder and recon-
nect the LNB cable to your receiver.
•
To avoid a continuous full-scale reading, do not use the Satellite Finder directly in front of the antenna.
•
When using an LNB with gain higher than 60 dB, insert a 5 dB attenuator between the LNB and the Satellite fi nder.
•
Do not attempt to modify the device.
•
Protect the device against humidity and high temperatures.
•
Please keep the device away from children, as it might contain smalls parts which can be swallowed.
