the buttons to start the motor moving.
8. You should move the motor as far west as possible and the move it east so that you cover the
complete movement range of the motor.
9. During the move from west to east the Signal Quality bar should register a signal once. This is the
position of the satellite. If there are two or more different positions which registers a signal, then you
must choose another frequency that is unique to the satellite you want.
10. Use the Signal and Strength Quality bar at the bottom of the screen to judge the best position of the dish.
11. Use the buttons to stop the motor when required.
12. When you have the best position of 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.
