6
Adjust polarization UP/DOWN the amount determined in step 2.
7
Press NEXT to search for the next satellite. If the next satellite found is not the desired satellite,
press NEXT to continue searching. Repeat searching until the desired satellite is found. Allow
the antenna to track the satellite for about two minutes.
8
Optimize polarization while on the new satellite using the procedure in 2.3.1.
If you will be changing satellites periodically to view different programming, note the polarization for each
of the satellites you will be using. It may also be helpful to record the elevation of the satellites you will be
using. Setting the elevation and polarization before searching for the next satellite will help shorten the
search process. Elevation of the satellite(s) may be entered & saved using SETUP Mode.
5.3.3. Setting polarization when you have changed geographic areas
If the boat is travelling a great distance it is recommended that you optimize the polarization using the
procedure in 2.4.1 after each 10 degree latitude or longitude change. If you have changed latitude and
longitude by a significant geographic distance, while the antenna has been turned off, it may be
necessary to adjust the polarization to find the desired satellite.
If you are able to find (and identify) a satellite, optimize the polarization and follow the procedure in
section 2.4.2 to change from the satellite you are presently on to the one you desire to be using. If you
are not able to find any satellites, adjust polarization up or down 10 degrees and press NEXT to search
for a (next) satellite signal. Continue adjusting polarization and searching, until a satellite signal is found
and you can follow the procedure in section 2.4.2 to change from the satellite you are presently on to the
one you desire to be using.
If after all polarization settings have been tried and no satellite signal can be found, refer to the
Troubleshooting section of this manual.
5.4. Saving the SETUP Parameters
When you have completed setting the desired parameters above, Press and HOLD
SAVE
for 6 seconds to
save the changes you have made to the settings and exit SETUP Mode. “Settings Saved” will be displayed.
If you do NOT want to save
the changes to NVRAM, Press
SAVE
+
▲
to exit SETUP Mode
without
permanently saving any parameter changes.
NOTE:
You will save individual set-up parameter settings as you modify them in the
procedure below (quick presses of the SAVE key). These will only save the settings until
POWER is cycled to the antenna.
When you are finished making all of your desired changes, you
MUST press and hold the
SAVE key for six seconds
to write the changes you have made to memory (“Settings
Saved” will be displayed) in the PCU, so they will be available after POWER has been
cycled to the antenna.
