4. The satellite names will display in the order of their position in the arc, east to west.
Scroll through the predefined list if the satellite you wish to program is included. When
you find the name, proceed to 5a. If you do not find the name, proceed to 5b on the next
page to enter a user-defined name into memory.
5a. Press E to assign the name to this position. If the name has already been assigned to
another position in memory, the system will prompt you for a confirmation before
overriding this assignment.
6. The screen will now prompt you in the lower right hand corner to "SET: V" - (vertical
polarization.) You can choose to set horizontal first by pushing A .
7. Use SKEW buttons to fine tune picture for the designated polarization. If the skew
buttons don't seem to work, make sure that the Auto-Pol feature is disabled.
8. When satisfied with reception, press E .
9. The system will automatically prompt you for the other polarization - Repeat steps 8 & 9.
When the second polarization has been entered, the system should display a "DATA
ACCEPTED" message.
10. System will automatically put you back in MAN mode so that you can move the antenna
to the next satellite you wish to program - Repeat steps 2 through 10. The list of satellite
names will return to the last name assigned, so that if all satellites are programmed in
their position order from east to west, finding and assigning names is simplified.

5b. Procedure for entering user-defined satellite name
If the satellite name is not in memory, you can assign a new name of up to seven (7) alpha-
numeric characters (A-Z, 0-9, or space) by accessing the USER entry mode as follows.
a. Scroll
A until USER is shown in upper left corner of screen.
b. Press
E - star prompt (*) will appear in first space.
c.
To enter letter, scroll B up through alphabet. To enter number, scroll A down through
numbers. To enter space, press A once and B once.
(Letters and numbers are on a continuous scroll, so if you pass the desired value, simply
back up by pushing the opposite key:
A will always scroll down and B will always scroll
up, regardless of which character is currently displayed.)
d.
When you reach the desired letter or number, press E to enter data to memory.
e. Star
(*) will prompt you for second character - repeat steps c & d.
f.
When the name has been entered, press E twice at star (*) to continue with the SET
procedure.
Return to step 6 above.
