The red button on our sat unit is flashing, following an update to the satellite as required. We can't stop it, have tried turning it off but the dish won't go up and the green light will not come on. Any suggestions? Thank you.

If the red button on the Apollo Entertainment KiwiSat unit is flashing and the dish won't go up, check for warning signals as indicated in paragraph 6.4.1. Also, ensure that the system is properly connected to power, the ignition key is not in the ON position (which disables dish movement), and that safety conditions are met (e.g., no one is on the roof, proper battery connection).
