2. SEARCHING AND FINDING
2.1 Automatic satellite search
When the green ON LED lights up, the SAT-Finder HD is ready for
operation and you can align the satellite dish. Be careful not to tilt
the satellite dish
too far
otherwise you could easily skip the satellite
you are looking for.
In this, the following applies: Pre-adjusting the dish vertically before-
hand will make the subsequent search much easier. Tilt the SAT dish
vertically, depending on your location.
As soon as the SAT-Finder HD has detected the satellite, it is dis-
played with a green LED on the satellite overview and the signal qual-
ity and level are displayed.

1. Turn the antenna
slowly
in the desired direction. As soon as the
antenna detects a satellite, this is indicated by the LEVEL and
QUALITY LEDs.
2. If a satellite has been detected but it is not the one you are looking
for, you now know which orbit position / direction the SAT dish is
pointing to. This makes it possible to search relatively specifical-
ly for the desired satellite. To do this, turn the SAT dish in the
corresponding direction until the SAT-Finder HD switches back to
automatic search mode and thus searches again for the signal of a
satellite.
Repeat this procedure until you have found the desired satellite.
