6.1 Compass calibration

The calibration of the compass has to be executed in the harbor in calm waters! If the mounting
surface of the antenna unit changes, or if the superstructures in vicinity of the antenna unit are
modified, the calibration has to be done again!
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 Comp Cal appears. Press
3. The display interchanges between the legends: Compass and UpDate? . Press
calibrate.
4. The display interchanges between the legends: Compass and calibrat and then
checking until the legend complete is shown for a brief moment, and then returns to
Comp Cal , which indicates that the calibration of the compass is completed. If the display
shows Err Comp , the calibration was not successful and has to be repeated. If several at-
tempts remain unsuccessfully, there are too many ferromagnetic objects close by the antenna
causing electromagnetic disturbance.
☛ If the removal of these objects is not possible, the system will not be working efficiently (the
time from switching on to finding a stored satellite will take much longer). The tracking char-
acteristics are not affected!
5. The display will return to Comp Cal . Press
The display shows Setup (flashing).
You are now back in the main menu and can switch to other satellites by pressing the
make adjustments in the setup menu.

4. Press  repeatedly until the legend quit appears, then press
Setup (flashing).
You are now back in the main menu and can switch to other satellites by pressing the

6. 3 Special functions via the standby mode

The following information can be obtained via the standby mode: software version of antenna unit
and control unit, serial number and operating hours counter.
1. Turn on the control unit. The display shows Init , meaning initialization is started. Wait for
the initialization to be completed, and then press the
2. To obtain the special functions, press and hold the
functions with the  key:
• serial number.

• software version of the antenna unit: VA X-XX
• software version of the control unit: VC X-XX
3. After releasing the  key, the display returns to Standby .

6. 4 Fastscan function (US only)

The tracking system will work faster with the fastscan function. However, if the antenna is locked
to a satellite and the TV does not show a picture, then the fastscan function must be deactivated
by following these steps:
1. Press  repeatedly until the display shows Setup (flashing), then press
word, see section 1.5. If the password is correct you are in the Setup menu with the display:
