Step 2: Initialize the control unit
1. Make sure the control unit is on (if it isn't, put
the switch on the right side of the unit in the on
position).
2. Press the INITIAL button on the control unit's front
panel. The control unit and rotator are initializing
to prepare for initial setup. The MEMORY and
DEGREE X10 indicators blink during this process,
which takes about a minute and a half.
When the MEMORY and DEGREE X10 indicators
stop blinking, the control unit and rotator are ready
for setup.
3. Check to make sure the control and drive units are
properly calibrated by looking at the position of the
drive unit and antenna at different DEGREE X10
readings. Use the > and < buttons on the control unit
to go to the following DEGREE X 10 readings, then
check the drive unit/antenna position.
DEGREE X10
reads...
00
09

27
36
If the DEGREE X10 reading and the drive unit/
antenna position don't match, go to the Recalibrating
the Rotator section on the next page.
NOTE: A strong storm or power failure may cause the
rotator to change position. Use the INITIAL button to
re-synchronize the system. If this reset procedure doesn't get
the desired results, the antenna of driver motor may be
misaligned on the antenna mast. You can either go to the
antenna and re-orient it or program the control unit to
correspond to the new antenna orientation.

Step 3: Program the control unit
1. Tune your TV to the station that you want to receive.
2. While watching your TV screen, press the < and >
buttons on the control unit's front panel to move the
antenna clockwise (>) and counter-clockwise (<) until
you find the position that gives you the best reception
for this channel.
3. When you've found the best antenna position for this
channel, press the MEMORY button on the control
unit's front panel. The MEMORY and DEGREE X10
indicators blink.
4. Press one of the letter buttons on the control unit's
front panel to store the antenna position for this
station to that button. The DEGREE X10 indicator
shows the degree of the antenna's position.
Note: Using a letter button that already has a position
stored to it in this step erases the old position stored and
stores the new one.
5. Use the Memory Location Chart that comes with
this product for recording the channel and antenna
position corresponding to each letter button. Write
down this information on this chart.
6. Repeat steps 3-7 for the next TV station. Choose a
different letter button to store its location.
You can store up to 12 antenna positions so that
you can easily find the best reception for each TV
station.
