1. Connect the SQ-701 as displayed above. You can use
either your set top box or external battery box for
power.
Note: if using a set top box, ensure the box is
switched on and the channel is selected to the
correct service required.
If you know the type of LNB (LO– 10700 or 11300)
press the LO button to the required setting. If you
unsure of the LNB setting, it should be labeled the
LNB.
To know what setting has been selected;
1- "beep" is for position 1, 10700 LO
2- "beeps" is for position 2, 11300 LO
Position 3 & 4 are unused.
Note; the LNB LO button always defaults
to position 1-10700 LO when switched on. This
is the most common LNB setting.
Finding the Aurora / VAST service really is
plug & play.
