INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION SUSPENDED INSTALLATION Remove the wood screws supplied from their transport attachment on the underside of the respective mounting piece (2 pieces). Vertically insert each mounting piece into the fi fth slot from the edge, as shown in Fig. 1. Then push each mounting piece downwards and outwards (see Fig.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION LAYING CABLES AND CONNECTING THE TURNTABLE • Lay the master coaxial cable (marked red) to the UFS 740sw and the second coaxial cable to the second receiver. If you are not using a second receiver, we recommend that you lay the second coaxial cable in any case, so that it is available should you ever need it.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Only for connection in a motor home, not in a caravan! • The third, green connecting cable, marked “IGNITION” allows you the option of connection to a circuit in the vehicle that is activated when the ignition key is turned and then carries a continuous 12 V supply. This type of connection ensures that when the engine is started the antenna is automatically lowered into the park position (the receiver does not need to be turned on).

MANUAL LOWERING TO PARK POSITION If a defect arises in the electronic controls, after some disassembly work the satellite dish can be returned to the park position (horizontal position) manually. Following this however recalibration by an authorised workshop is always necessary. Driving to the nearest workshop with the antenna extended at a moderate speed and taking into account the increase (+ 77cm) in the vehicle height is an option and is preferable to manual lowering!
MANUAL LOWERING TO PARK POSITION MANUAL LOWERING In the centre of the antenna (arrowed) there are two plastic caps, one to the left and one to the right. Lever them off with a narrow fl at-bladed screwdriver. Behind each cap is an M8 hexagon head screw. Unscrew these using a 13 mm socket wrench.

FIRST INSTALLATION The following display appears: System Use the buttons at “System” to select “CAP 900”. Then press the (green) button (channel scan “item 4/5” is skipped). The following display appears: Set Local Time Use the buttons to set the time zone variation from UTC (formerly GMT) (e.g. for Germany +1 hour).
ALIGNMENT (SATELLITE SEARCH) The antenna is aligned automatically. After the UFS 740 has been switched on, the turntable automatically moves to the last channel received and the associated satellite position (e.g. ARD/ASTRA). This works because every satellite broadcasts its own identifi cation signal, which is automatically identifi ed by the turntable.
ALIGNMENT (SATELLITE SEARCH) MANUAL CORRECTION At the margins of the footprints of a satellite (e.g. after a slight change of position), it may be necessary for you to manually correct the setting (not normally required). It is also possible to manually correct the fi ne tuning.
CHANNEL (SATELLITE) SELECTION By pressing the buttons all channels can be selected in the sequence that they appear in the current channel list and its sorting. Press the (blue) button to switch between TV and radio channels. CHANNEL SELECTION FROM THE CHANNEL LIST Providing you are not in a menu, pressing the button calls up the channel list.
