1. Selecting a satellite / Search mode
Push the "SATELLITE SELECT" button as often until the desired satellite indicator lights up.
ASTRA 2 N Select this position when you are in the northern part of ASTRA2 footprint.
ASTRA 2 S Select this position when you are in the southern part of ASTRA2 footprint.
ASTRA 1 Select this position for Astra 1
HOTBIRD Select this position for Hotbird
SIRIUS Select this position for Sirius
Now the antenna starts searching and the indicator for the search mode (SEARCH) lights up.
2. Tracking mode
When the antenna has found the selected satellite, the satellite indicator goes out for 1 second and lights
up again. Now the satellite is logged in and the tracking indicator (TRACKING) lights up.
Sometimes it happens that the antenna at first stops and logs on a different satellite (depends on your
position, signal strength and weather condition). In this case the indicator of the different satellite lights up
for a second and goes out again. The antenna has now recognized the wrong satellite and moves to the
correct position.
Now you can enjoy TV on the move.
Attention! For safety reasons the driver is not allowed to watch TV when driving a car!
On the move it is normal that obstacles like tunnels, trees or buildings cut the direckt connection to the
satellite. In this case no reception is possible.
As soon as the vehicle is in the reception area of satellite again following happens (depending on
interruption time):
a) Short interruption: Antenna starts tracking again and finds satellite within appr. 30 seconds
b) Interruption for a longer time: Antenna starts search mode again and will find the selected satellite
within short time (max. appr. 2-3 minutes).
3. Standby / Sleep mode
When your vehicle does not move (antenna keeps same position) the sleep mode is automatically
activated after appr. 2 minutes (SLEEP indicator lights up).
If the antenna position is changed (vehicle starts driving again e.g.) the antenna automatically starts the
search mode (SEARCH) or tracking mode (TRACKING), depend on how much the antenna position
have changed.
The standby / sleepmode can manually be activated as well: After logging in pls push the "SATELLITE
SELECT" button once.
You can disactivate the sleepmode by pushing this button again.
If you completely switch off the antenne (overnight e.g.) the antenna starts with search mode again after
switching on the next day.
