displayed. Depressing the Scroll Up and/or Scroll Down keys will cycle between the display of
AGC1, AGC2, and the greater of AGC1 or AGC2.
When the greater of the two AGC inputs is displayed a blank character (' ') will be present to
the left of the signal strength display field. Similarly, a '.' character will be present when AGC1
is displayed and a ':' will be present when AGC2 is displayed.
When the antenna is in the vicinity of a satellite which was the target of the last Auto Move
operation, that satellite name will be displayed. Similarly, when the current polarization setting
is in the vicinity of the preset horizontal or vertical polarizations of the satellite which was the
target of the last Auto Move operation, either 'H', 'h', 'V', or 'v' will be displayed. The capital
letters will be displayed if the satellite name is displayed, and the lower case letters if the
satellite name is not displayed. If there is no polarization indication, it means that the
antenna's current polarization setting is somewhere between the preset polarization values.

Satellites that have been stored in the controller's non-volatile memory (via Setup mode) can
be recalled via Auto mode. Antenna position and horizontal/vertical presets for up to 50
satellites (38 satellites for software versions prior to v1.5x) may be stored in non-volatile
memory.
If no satellites have been programmed into the controller's non-volatile memory the controller
will display the following message ...

key operation.
2. Select Satellite - Use the Scroll Up and/or Scroll Down keys to scroll through the satellites
stored in non-volatile memory. Hit the Enter key to select the desired satellite. If AutoPol is
enabled (AutoPol is described in section 3.8) the antenna will begin moving to the satellite. If
AutoPol is disabled the user is prompted to select horizontal or vertical polarization.
