Adding new satellites

The search and storage of new satellites on the ship must be done in the harbour in calm
waters! For every satellite at least one program must be preprogrammed in the receiver to
control the satellite position of the antenna unit by means of the TV picture quality. Make
sure the preprogrammed TV station for the desired satellite is turned on at the receiver, as
the system stops at each receivable satellite. The satellite can be identified by the quality of
the TV picture.
Please proceed as follows:
1. To go to the Setup menu, press  repeatedly until the display shows Setup
 ( flashing), then press . Enter password, see chapter 3.4. If the password is correct you
are in the Setup menu with the display showing: Tracking.
2. Press  repeatedly until New Sat appears on the display. Press  to select. For
two seconds Search? appears and changes to Sat X.
You have now the possibility to choose between band-tracking and channel-tracking.
The advantage of the channel-tracking mode is the selection of the measurement
frequency. By this method external interfering radiation can be prevented. The band-
tracking mode can achieve a better tracking result.
We recommend the channel-tracking mode. With the  key you will automatically get
into the channel-mode. By repeatedly pressing the  key you can choose the desired
stored satellite. Confirm with .
If you chose band-tracking, please confirm Sat X by pressing .
!! New Sat only appears in the display, if free satellite storage positions are available.
In case all storage positions are occupied, the less required ones have to be deleted first.
(see chapter 5.3).
3. If you chose Sat X, ScnBand will be shown for 2 seconds. After that, use the 
key to change band between Band1 and Band4 to select the band in which the
satellite should be searched. Please refer to the band numbers in the following table:
Band 1
Band 2
Band 3
Band 4
4. Confirm with or cancel with .
