3.2. Manual Control Button Operation
1. Elevation Up / Elevation Down – To move the iNetVu® platform up or down press
and hold the required button until angle is reached. Once the desired angle is reached,
let go of the depressed button. There is an up limit switch on EL Up that will kick in once
maximum elevation is reached, this will prevent all other functions (AZ and PL) from
working except for the EL Down thus preventing the platform from sustaining damage.
There is also a down limit switch for the El Down which will appear on the LCD screen
as EL: D once a certain angle is reached (between 0 and 15) during the down
operation this prevents the azimuth and or polarization movement in any direction while
the D switch is ON.
If moving down to stow the down button will stop responding once the S is displayed on
the LCD screen.
***Note: Azimuth Stow Switch (AZ: S), and Polarization Stow Switch (PL: S) must
be ON in order for the Elevation Stow to function properly.
The polarization PL: S (Stow) is constantly displayed on the LCD regardless of
Azimuth or Elevation position when using handheld with iNetVu® 1200/1800
Mobile Platform.

2. Azimuth Left/ Azim
uth Right - To move the iNetVu® platform left or right (this is
determined by the front and back orientation of the reflector), see Fig .6 for more details
regarding platform/reflector orientation. Facing the reflector, press and hold the desired
button to move right or left until position required is reached. Moving right will decrease
the Azimuth angle while moving left increases the angle.
