Follow these steps and refer to the flowchart in
Figure 37 to set up the system for a custom pair
of satellites from the antenna's library.
a. At "Set up satellite(s)," press the YES button
on the MCP's front panel.
b. At "Circular or Linear," press CIR.
c. At "Service=DIRECTV," press NEXT until
the display shows "Service=Custom." Then
press YES.
d. At "Install A <SAT NAME>", press NEXT
until the display shows the first (primary)
satellite you want to select. Then press YES.
(See Appendix B on page 30 for a list of
available satellites.)
NOTE: If you don't find the satellite you want, you
can set up user-defined satellites. Refer to the
associated Application Note on the KVH Partner
Portal (KVH-authorized technicians only).
e. Repeat Step d to select the second satellite. If
you want to set up the antenna to track just
one satellite, select "None" instead.
f. At "Set Lat/Long?," press YES.
TIP: You can determine your approximate latitude
and longitude in North America from the position
grids provided in Appendix C on page 31.
g. At "Latitude," use the - and + buttons to set
each digit of the vessel's latitude. Press Enter
to accept each digit.
h. At "Longitude," set the vessel's longitude.
NOTE: The customer will need to use the buttons on
the MCP's front panel to manually switch between
satellites (see the User's Guide for details).
