In case of doubts, refer to the supplier or to a qualified maintenance centre

For correct operation of the system, please make sure to have a "free view toward South",
because most of TV satellites that covers central Europe are positioned in South direction. If
there's an obstacle (building, mountain, tree, etc) between the vehicle and the South line, it will
be not possible for the system to receive correctly the satellite signal.

1.2. General notes

General notes regarding the use of the system:
• Base operations have been conceived so that power on and satellite search will be
performed automatically by switching on the unit.
• The system manages three satellites. Default configuration consist of Hot Bird , Astra 1
and Atlantic Bird 3. In case you need another satellite (the complete list of 16 satellites is
available in Chap. 3.1) please contact the installation personnel.
• The system automatically saves the last used satellite and the geographical sector
setting, if selected.
• It is possible to interrupt the automatic satellite search function, at any time, simply by
pressing any key of the Control Panel.
• System goes automatically in stand-by 5 minutes after having pressed the last key. To
exit the stand-by status press any key. During stand-by phase the typical system
absorption is only 5mA.
• System beeper issues three different signals;
 A "low" signal issued for three seconds, at the end of the automatic satellite search
function
 A "high" signal, issued during the closing procedure of the antenna. This signal will
stop only when the antenna is completely closed
 A "short" signal every time a Control Panel key is pressed
