Stop Tracking Function In Harbors; Satellites; Adding New Satellites - Epak-Tv Basic Line Tv44 Handbuch

Check all cable connections and make sure there is a clear view (no obstacles) to the satellite and
the receiver is correctly adjusted. Then repeat this procedure.
☛ The menu item Upd Sat is not shown when the tracking function is deactivated (see sec-
tion 4.1).
Should the antenna lose the signal from the satellite (due to a passing boat, buildings on shore,
bridges, or superstructures on own boat), the display will interchange between Sat X (stored po-
sition of current satellite) and no Sig , for the duration of the missing satellite reception.
The tracking mode will automatically restart when the vessel is turned. The display interchanges
between scanning and Sat X. In case superstructures obstruct the view to the satellite, turn
the vessel or the satellite cannot be found!
☛ If you wish to select a specific satellite, refer to section 5.4.

5.1 Adding new satellites

To search and store new satellites must be done in the harbor 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 section 3.4. If the password is correct you are in the Setup menu
with the display: Tracking .
2. Press  repeatedly until New Sat appears. Press
☛ New Sat only appears in the display if free satellite storage positions are available. If all
storage positions are occupied, then the less required ones have to be deleted first. (See 5.3).
3. The legend ScnBand? will be shown for 2 seconds. After that, use the
band between Band 1 and Band 4 to select the band in which the satellite will be
searched:
Band 1 10700 MHz -11700 MHz (Polarization Vertical)
Band 2 10700 MHz -11700 MHz (Polarization Horizontal)
Band 3 11700 MHz -12750 MHz (Polarization Vertical)
Band 4 11700 MHz -12750 MHz (Polarization Horizontal)
