In order to move the antenna put the light column with P+/P- on Azimuth (rotation,
direction) or Elevation (angle). Using the +/- buttons the antenna can be moved in
steps in the selected direction. You will see in the direction indication window the
corresponding change, which you have called up in the antenna direction. Please note,
that the indicated direction value relates to your vehicle and to no actual degree
information (space direction) - which once you have moved your vehicle will no longer
have any validity!
If you wish to manually control the antenna over a greater range this can be increased
steps. For this simply press a number from 1 – 9 on the remote controller, while the
light selection column stands on Azimuth or Elevation. The selected step size will be
presented in the direction indication window behind the degree number. For this
applies: the greater the number, the greater the extent of the step. For the fine
adjustment of a position to be possible you must select a step of 1 or 2.
In order to store the current set position select the point “Store position” and press OK.
The current position will now be immediately stored. If you now retract / switch off, the
unit will automatically return to this position. If you had a picture at the “Store position”
and the vehicle does not move, then when switching on again within a few seconds you
will receive a picture.
As a further facility you can retract the antenna at any time from the “Manual search”
point - for this you move the light column and press OK. The antenna now retracts.
You can achieve this in the direction indication window. At an elevation of approx. -73
o
the antenna is mechanically fully retracted - the equipment however does not now switch
itself off. By selecting the point “Last position” and then pressing OK the antenna
travels to the stored position. This can for example be used if you have previously
retracted the antenna and must now re-open it.
In order to leave the “Manual search” menu you can press EXIT at anytime.
Retracting and switching off
This function switches the antenna and switches the receiver into standby.
The same function can be carried out by pressing the red standby button on the
remote controller or with a longer pressure at the same time on the two buttons on the
indication unit.
The standby condition will be indicated with a green point on the indication unit, unless
under Oyster Digital Æ Configuration Æ Standby mode the setting “Comfort” is
selected (see page 28).
Video – Operation
With the selection of this point the antenna is retracted and the signal from the video
recorder is passed through to the television. For this your video recorder must be
connected to the upper (VCR) Scart socket of the Oyster Digital receiver.
Video operation is also possible with an extended antenna - in this case you must merely
press the AV button, in order to pass the signal from the video recorder to the television.
