Updating Satellite Frequency Data
If the antenna is unable to find a satellite, the satellite's frequency
data may have changed. The Satellite Frequency Scan feature
allows you to update the frequency data of any satellite stored in
the system's library.
This function should not be used unless directed by KVH
Technical Support or a KVH-authorized technician.
With the desired satellite, band, and polarization selected, the
system will automatically search for the frequency with the
strongest signal. The system will then update that satellite's
programmed data with the new frequency (and associated
network ID) and store it in the satellite library.
To update the satellite frequency data, follow the steps below:
1. Place your receiver in the satellite signal meter mode.
2. Select the desired satellite on the MCU. Ensure the TV
signal meter indicates that you have a strong signal.
If the antenna is unable to find the selected satellite
automatically, you can manually point the antenna (see
"Manually Controlling the Antenna" on page 68).
3. Select the desired polarization and band on the receiver.
4. Do not move the vessel. Your boat must remain
motionless during the entire Satellite Frequency Scan
process.
5. Follow the MCU menus on the next page. The scan itself
will take a couple of minutes. Once complete, restart the
antenna and ensure the antenna will track the new
frequency.
