The purpose of this is to set the motor position manually for each satellite.
This is useful if the satellite you require is not available in the pre-programmed list (see 3 above).
To do this, you must access the Satellite Settings menu. Proceed as follows:
1. Select “Service Searching” from the Main menu and press the OK ( ) button to display the
Service Searching menu.
2. Select the Manual Search option and press the OK ( ) button to display the Manual Search
menu. Select the relevant Alternative Antenna you are using for this satellite.
3. Enter the Frequency, Polarisation, Symbol Rate and FEC for a transponder on the satellite you
wish to find. The transponder information should be unique to the satellite.
4. Select the Alternative Antenna option and press the OK ( ) button to display the Satellite
Settings menu.
5. Highlight the DiSEqC Command Mode option and, using the buttons, change this to Installer.
6. Highlight the Satellite name option and use the buttons to select the satellite you want to find.
Use others if the name of the satellite you want does not appear.
7. When you have selected the satellite you are looking for, go down to the Movement option, and
again using the buttons, start the motor moving.
8. You should move the motor as far west as possible and then move it east so that you cover the
motor’s complete movement range.
9. During the move from west to east, the Signal Quality bar should register a signal once.
This is the satellite’s position. If there two or more different positions register a
signal, then you must choose another frequency that will be unique to the satellite you want.
10. Use the Signal level and Strength Quality bar at the bottom of the screen to judge the best
position for the dish.
11. Use the buttons to stop the motor when required.
12. When you have found the best position for the dish, go to the Motor Control option, and using the
buttons, select “Store” and press the OK ( ) button. The position of the satellite should
now be stored.
13. If you have not stored this position, it will be lost when you exit the menu.
14. Repeat the process for each satellite if required, remembering to use a different alternative
antenna for each satellite.
