Enter Your Latitude & Longitude
15
If you set up the system for a Tri-Sat mode, and
you do not have a GPS connected to the ADCU,
follow these steps to enter your vessel's latitude
and longitude into the system.
IMPORTANT!
If you set up the system for one or two
satellites, you may skip this step since you
already entered latitude/longitude during
the satellite selection process; proceed to
page 22.
NOTE: The antenna will use your position
information to speed up satellite acquisition. If the
antenna knows where you are, it knows where it
should start looking for the satellite. In addition, for a
linear system, the antenna will use your position
information to calculate the correct LNB skew angle.
TIP: You can determine your approximate latitude
and longitude in Europe or North America from the
position grids provided in Appendix G on page 46.
a. Press the center MENU button on the ADCU
to access the onscreen menu (see Figure 38).
b. At "Setup display type?", press NEXT until
the display shows "Control antenna?" Then
press ENTER and press YES to confirm.
c. At "Man control antenna?", press NEXT until
the display shows "Set Lat/Long?" Then

d. At "Latitude", use the - and + buttons to set
each digit of the vessel's latitude. Press
ENTER to accept each digit.
e. At "Longitude", set the vessel's longitude.
f. At "Set Lat/Long?," press NEXT until the

YES. Wait one minute while the antenna
restarts.
