(This is a receiver only and will have a separate dish positioner)

BUTTONS ON THE RECEIVER

  • On / Off
  • Scan - Scans all channels in about 4 seconds. Used as an aid in locating satellites
  • Sat - Used with the number buttons to call a satellite
  • Mode (AM/PM) - Selects AM or PM when programming time and Selects either mono, discrete or matrix audio.
  • Down / Up - Used with the SAT button to scroll through the satellites.
  • Preset - Selects 1 of 6 preset audio modes (1,2,3 - factory prog.;
  • 4,5,6 - personal prog.)
  • Select - Used with button 0-9 when programming information into receiver.
  • Tune "A" Up/Down - Changes frequency of Channel A
  • H/V - Changes Polarity
  • Tune "B" Up/Down - Changes frequency of Channel B when in Stereo mode. "EE" will appear if pressed and it is in mono mode.
  • Volume Up/Down
  • Clear - Used in the Programming mode to clear any instruction.
  • Channel Up/Down

BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE

  • [Numbers 0-9] - Used to select a channel or a satellite in conjunction with the SAT button
  • [Up/Down arrows] - Used to changed channels
  • Clock - Displays the time
  • Sat - Used to select a satellite. (i.e.: SAT 0 2). When pressed while the dish is moving, it will stop at the closest satellite. If it is pressed while the display reads "P##" or with a satellite number that is not programmed, then "EE" will appear on the display.
  • Mute

HOW TO PROGRAM A SATELLITE

These type of receivers do not go by satellite names, the customer should have a list of numbers that correspond to the satellites. (EX: Satellite 01 will be F1, 02 is F4, etc.).

1. Find a satellite number that the customer does not use.

2. Start on a satellite next to or near the satellite that is being programmed.

3. Go to a channel that is active on both the satellite you are starting from and the satellite

to be programmed.

4. Press selecT; display reads [‘SEL].

5. Press zero (0) twice; display reads [00] then [ID].

6. Press the ID code which is factory preset at 1, 2, 3; display reads [C##]. If 1, 2, 3 does not work then go to "How to Change the ID Code if it is Forgotten".

7. Follow the correct procedure:

[A] If you are starting from a satellite with the opposite polarity, tap the UP (east) or DOWN (west) button just until the picture is gone.

-Next, press the H/V button on the receiver one time to reverse the polarity; display reads [‘H EN] for normal polarity or [‘H OD] for reversed polarity.

-If there is a picture at this time and it is the correct satellite, then proceed to step 8; otherwise continue moving up or down.

[B] If you are starting from a satellite with the same polarity, then tap the UP (east) or DOWN (west) button until a different picture comes in. If the picture is correct, then proceed to step 8; otherwise continue moving.

8. To store the satellite: Press select, display reads [‘SEL]; press 1, 2; display reads [‘PP], then press the number of the satellite you are storing (from 1-33). Press select again; display reads [‘PP##] then [‘C##].

9. To exit the programming mode: Press select, display reads [‘SEL]; then zero (0) twice; display reads [‘C##].

10. This completes the programming process.


How to Erase a Satellite

1. Press select; display reads [‘SEL].

2. Press 0 twice; display reads [00] then [ID].

3. Press 1, 2, 3; display reads [C##].

4. Press select; display reads [‘SEL].

5. Press 1, 3; display reads [‘PE].

6. Press the number of the satellite to be erased; display reads [‘P##].

7. Press select and the satellite should be erased now; display reads [‘SEL].

8. Press select, then 0 twice to exit the programming mode; display reads [C##].


How to Change the Identification Code to a personal code

1. Press select; display reads [‘SEL].

2. Press 0 twice; display reads [00] then [ID].

3. Press 1, 2, 3; display reads [C##].

4. Press select; display reads [‘SEL].

5. Press 1, 8; display reads [‘ID].

6. Press any three digit number you want to be the code; display reads [‘C##].

7. Press select, then 0 twice to exit the programming mode; display reads [C##].


How to Change the Identification Code if it is forgotten

1. Press select; display reads [‘SEL].

2. Press 6 1; display reads [61 momentarily].

3. Press 8 5 2; display reads [C##].

4. The ID code is now set to 1, 2, 3 as it was originally.


How to Turn a Channel Lock On/Off - The display will read [CL] if the channel is locked

1. Go to the channel that is to be locked or unlocked.

2. Press select; display reads [‘SEL].

3. Press 0 twice; display reads [00] then [ID].

4. Press 1, 2, 3; display reads [C##].

5. Press select; display reads [‘SEL].

6. Press 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; display reads [‘CL], then [‘ON], then [‘C##] if the lock was turned on. The display will read [‘CL], then [OFF], then [‘C##] if the lock was turned off.

7. Press select; display reads [‘SEL].

8. Press 0 twice; display reads [CL].


How to Lock on a Satellite

1. Go to the satellite that is to be locked on or lock removed.
