Updating Satellite Frequency Data

70
If the antenna is unable to find a satellite, or if you are unable to
receive certain channels, the satellite's frequency data might have
changed. The satellite frequency scan feature allows you to update the
frequency data of any satellite stored in the system's library.
With the desired satellite, band, and polarization selected, the system
will automatically search for the frequency with the strongest signal.
The system will then update that satellite's programmed data with the
new frequency (and associated network ID) and store it in the satellite
library.
You will need to enter the following information:
• Symbol rate
• FEC code
TIP: You can find satellite information on the web at www.lyngsat.com or
www.satcodx.com (neither website is affiliated with KVH).
To update the satellite frequency data, follow the steps below.
IMPORTANT!
The vessel must remain stationary throughout this procedure.
1. Track the satellite you wish to update by choosing a
valid polarization/band.
2. Set your satellite receiver to signal meter mode. Refer to
your selected receiver's user manual for details.
3. Ensure your TV signal meter indicates that you have a
strong signal.
4. Using the receiver, select the desired polarization and
band you wish to update. Refer to your selected
receiver's user manual for details.
