Step 4: Install batteries in the remote
Battery Precautions:
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or
rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries.
• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries promptly
and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local
and National Regulations.
Using the Programmable
Antenna Rotator
To go to a programmed antenna position: Press the
letter button for that position on the remote or on the
control unit's front panel.
The drive unit turns the antenna to that position, and
the control unit displays the position of the antenna in
degrees.
To stop the rotator while it's going to a programmed
position: Turn the control unit off, then turn it back on.
Press the INITIAL button to resynchronize the unit.
To fine-tune the antenna position (or position
manually): Press the > or < buttons on the remote
control or control unit's front panel to move the antenna
clockwise (>) or counter-clockwise (<).
1. Press and push the
battery compartment
cover to remove it.
2. Insert the batteries,
matching the batteries
to the (+) and (–)
marks inside the
battery compartment.
3. Push the battery cover
back into place.
Re-Calibrating the Rotator
This antenna rotator comes from the factory calibrated
and ready to set up. However, if you notice that the
control unit's display and the drive unit's position do
not match (for example, if the display reads 30 but the
antenna has done a complete 360-degree rotation), you
can recalibrate the rotator to make them match again.
1. Press the INITIAL button to return the drive unit to
its starting position—the line on the rotator section of
the drive unit should line up with the line on the base
once this is finished.
2. Press the INITIAL button a second time to
completely reset the control and drive units.
3. Press and hold the INITIAL and > buttons on the
control unit's front panel—make sure you press the
INITIAL button slightly before the > button. Keep
holding these buttons down as the display starts
counting up in seconds.
If the display starts counting down from 36, the
control unit is in initialization mode, not calibration
mode. Let the rotator finish initialization, then try
step 2 again, this time pressing the > button more
quickly after the INITIAL button.
4. Watch the antenna and drive unit—when it completes
a full 360-degree turn, release the INITIAL and >
buttons on the control unit. This typically takes about
57 seconds.
The DEGREE X10 indicator displays the rotator
cycle time. The control unit uses this information to
keep the antenna positions and program locations
synchronized.
Resetting the Memory Buttons
Resetting the control unit's memory buttons erases all
programmed antenna positions.
1. Turn off the control unit.
2. Press and hold the D button on the control unit's
front panel.
3. While holding the D button, turn the control unit
back on. The CCW and CW indicators light up.
4. Release the D button and turn the unit back off.
5. Turn the unit back on a second time. The unit will
perform the initialization procedure.
The MEMORY on the front panel reads 0, and the
DEGREE X10 display reads 00. The unit is resetting
its memory.
