If auto-acquisition is not possible you can use a hand crank to bring the antenna into the

1. Press  on the keypad to go to the page MANUAL POINTING and select ENABLE.
This page sends a pointing request to the terminal.
Using the inputs from GNSS, the system calculates the azimuth and elevation look

angles for the target GX satellite.
2. Press  until ENABLE/DISABLE is selected, and select ENABLE, press OK to initiate
the selection.
The antenna must be in the state MANUAL POINTING. Else, deploy and wait until this
state is shown.
3. Use the included hand-crank for axis movement in the event of a loss in power.
Access to the azimuth and elevation axis ports is located at the lower rear side of the
unit.
4. Insert the Unbraco key (5 mm) into the holes for azimuth and elevation. One turn of the
key is equal to 0.1 degree.
