4.2.9. Antenna Positioning (USALS)
Setting item, using ◄,►keys you need to set USALS. The first time you select
USALS, you will be asked to enter your location (Longitude and Latitude). You
can always edit this information by pressing the Blue key to select Position Edit.
From the Position edit menu you can also edit the satellite's position. This will
be necessary if you add a new satellite because it will be set to zero by default.
Select "Go To Position" and press "OK" in the Command Mode to move the dish
to the satellite position. "Step Size" and "Move Dish" commands are not used in
the USALS menu.
Select "Go To 0" and press "OK" in Command Mode to move the dish to the "0
Position" which if your motor is installed correctly, will point your dish directly
south.
Note: When scrolling through the satellite list in the Antenna Setup menu, the
dish will start to move when you highlight a satellite that has the Positioner
Setting set to DiSEqC 1.2 or USALS (assuming that a DiSEqC 1.2 or USALS

Setting to the OFF state.
