Installation

Dish setup
Use to highlight the satellite your dish is aimed at. Its antenna settings will be shown at the right side. You can enter the right side with the buttons and return to the satellite list with .
Configure the antenna settings for the selected satellite
LNB Type: Press or OK to show the list of LNB Types. The Universal LNB (09750/10600 MHz) is supported – the most used on the market. SatCR A and SatCR B are used for SatCR systems. If only 1 SatCR LNB is connected, use SatCR A. SatCR systems are mainly installed by professional experts. An optional satellite splitter is required for multi-users.
LNB Power: Use to set the LNB power. 13/18V is the setting for a Universal LNB.
22KHz: Use to switch the 22KHz oscillator signal on or off. Auto is the setting for a Universal LNB.
DiSEqC1.0: To select the correct port from up to 4 (if available) for the corresponding LNB.
DiSEqC1.1: To select the correct port from up to 16 (if available) for the corresponding LNB.
Motor: If using a motor driven dish, press to choose between DiSEqC1.2 and DiSEqC 1.3 depending on the motor type you use.

DiSEqC 1.2
DiSEqC 1.2 is a protocol for motor-driven dishes, the dish/motor- combination itself needs to be aligned due South (North for Southern hemisphere) at its reference position at 0°. It is possible to manually search and store every satellite individually.
Refer to the manual of your motor-drive for more detailed information. Modern motor drives have usually also the capability of the enhanced DiSEqC 1.3 protocol, which would be preferred, since it can find satellite positions automatically, relative to a geographical location.
Move the motor to the right position for locking the signal like explained below. Press OK to enter the submenu.
Move Continue: Press for moving West/East. Press the opposite to stop moving.
Move Step(1): Press for moving West/East in 0.3° step. Store Position: To store the current motor position for selected satellite. If your dish is physically obstructed to the East or West (example by a wall), you can limit its moving range by pressing the RED button to Set Limit.
Move Continue: Press for moving West/East. Press the opposite to stop moving.
Move Step(1): Press for moving West/East in 0.3° step. Check if you are still well clear of the obstruction. Then select Set East or West Limit, according to the direction, and press OK twice to store. Repeat if there is also an obstruction to the opposite direction. Moving outside the range of your dish will thus be prevented. Both limits can be disabled with Disable Limit.

DiSEqC 1.3
DiSEqC 1.3 (also known as GotoX) is an automated system for finding satellites with a motor driven dish. It is an enhancement of the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol, where it was still needed to manually search and store every satellite individually. With DiSEqC 1.3 every satellite position is automatically calculated for a defined geographical location on earth. Only this location is needed to be entered and stored in to the box, in conjunction with a DiSEqC 1.3 capable motor drive, all (pre-installed) satellites can easily be found. The dish/motor-combination itself needs to be aligned due South (North for Southern hemisphere) at its reference position at 0°. Refer to the manual of your motordrive for more detailed information.
Select DiSEqC 1.3 with the buttons. Press the GREEN button to setup your location coordinates.
A pop-up window will appear, in which the following settings can be made:
Location: Longitude Direction: Choose East or West.
Longitude Angle: Use the 0 ~ 9 buttons to enter the coordinate.
Latitude Direction: Choose North or South.
Latitude Angle: Use the 0 ~ 9 buttons to enter the coordinate.

When all settings have been made, press to save the data and leave the window.

Note: The location setting only needs to be entered once, and is valid for all satellites. If needed, the motor can physically be brought to its 0° reference position, to align the dish South (or North for for Southern hemisphere) first.

Press OK to enter the GotoX menu.
Select Goto Reference to move the dish to the reference position of 0°. Press OK twice to move. If your dish is physically obstructed to the East or West (example by a wall), you can limit its moving range by pressing the RED button to Set Limit to prevent it hitting the obstruction.
Use:
Move Continue: Press for moving West/East. Press the opposite to stop moving.
Move Step(1): Press for moving West/East in 0.3° step. Check if you are still well clear of the obstruction. Then select Set East or West Limit, according to the direction, and press OK twice to store. Repeat if there is also an obstruction to the opposite direction. When accidentally selecting satellites from the list which are out of range by your dish, it will not run in to the obstruction. Both limits can be disabled with Disable Limit.

Channel Scan
Automatic Scan
Satellite Scan: Select a satellite in the left window to be scanned. More than one can be selected. Press BLUE for Scan. A window with scan settings will be displayed.
Scan Mode: Use to select Default, Blind Scan or NetWork.
