27



Please follow also the instructions in the
operating manual of your satellite antenna.

Caution!

The receiver should only be connected to the power
supply after you have connected the antenna cable to
the receiver.



When searching the southern direction, the
position of the sun might help you. During
summer time, the sun is exactly in southern
position at 12 am noon and during winter at 1 pm.

Connection and rough direction of the antenna

You must connect the antenna cable to the LNB before
directing the antenna.

 Screw the F plug to the LNB connection.

If you have not mounted and directed your satellite
system yet, you must first find a suitable location for
mounting the antenna. Please make sure that the
antenna is directed towards the south-east. This means,
you must have a free view in this direction when you
stand behind the antenna. Keep in mind that the antenna
must never be mounted behind a balustrade, a handrail
or other obstacles (such as trees).

28

South South

East

You must have this view when standing behind the
antenna.

In this angle of 90° nearly all common satellite positions,
such as ASTRA1 19.2° E, Eutelsat Hotbird 13° E, and
Türksat 42° E, can be found.

Depending on which satellite you wish to receive, there
must be free sight without any obstacles in this angle.
This must especially be ensured with an installation on a
wall. Make sure that you can turn your antenna
completely without having contact with the wall of your
house before installing a corresponding wall bracket (not
necessarily included in the scope of supply).

After having made all relevant connections you can now
start with the setup of the antenna. Please check again
that the receiver is connected with the LNB of the
antenna and the receiver with your TV set. As soon as
these cable connections have been made correctly, you
can switch on the devices.

29

First step:

Switch on your TV set. Please make sure that your TV
set has been adjusted to the receiver, i.e. in case of a
Scart connection or HDMI connection, the TV set must be
set to the correct AV channel.

Second step:

Switch on the receiver. Please ensure that the receiver
has been preset for the most common satellites and their
channels and that you just have to enter the channel
locations via the numeric keys of the remote control of
the receiver.

Example:

If you wish to receive the satellite ASTRA1 19.2° E, you
must set your receiver to channel location 1 for directing
the antenna. The same applies also for other satellites,
such as Hotbird. If you wish to direct your antenna to
Hotbird, just call a preset channel of Hotbird with your
receiver.

Third step:

Now, direct your antenna to the satellite you selected.
You have several options to do so. The easiest and most
cost-effective solution is the following way:

Stand behind the antenna and move the antenna
completely into vertical position (see picture B). Make
sure that the receiving compo-nent of the antenna is
directed towards the south (see picture A).

30



In case of digital satellite reception, the receiver
receives the transmission signal with a time lag.
Therefore, turn the antenna very slowly and wait
at each position for some seconds until the
receiver shows the signal strength on the screen
menu.

South

Picture A Picture B

Now, turn your antenna slowly towards the east (to the
left) while observing the TV set, until the receiving
component points exactly towards the east, i.e. rotate by
90° (see picture below).

South

East

31

Now, move your antenna in such a way that it will
become steeper by 1°. For this purpose, pull at the top of
the antenna. Now, return the antenna slowly to its initial
position towards the south. Now, turn the antenna once
again 1° steeper and move it again to the left in eastern
direction. Repeat these steps until the vertical elevation
angle crosses the horizontal azimuth angle, e.g. for
ASTRA1 at 19.2° east, and you are receiving the set
channel on your TV set.

Now, please check again if you are receiving the channel
set on the receiver and zap through the channels with the
CH and CH keys of the receiver or by using the
remote control.

As soon as you have found the desired satellite, you
should improve the direction of the antenna until you get
a clear image on all channels. You can achieve this by an
optimum adjustment of the vertical elevation angle and
the horizontal azimuth angle (see pictures A and B).
Please use also the indication of the signal strength and
signal quality by pressing the INFO key.

Finally tighten all screws thoroughly to make sure that the
direction of your antenna cannot change anymore.

32



The strap in the battery compartment is intended
to make it easier for you to take out the batteries.
If you place the strap under the inserted batteries,
you can remove them by simply pulling it out.

Getting started

Remote control

For the remote control two batteries type AAA/1.5V are
required.

 Open the battery compartment.

 Insert two batteries into the battery compartment -

paying attention to the indicated polarities and push
the cover of the battery compartment carefully until it is
locked.

 Replace discharging batteries on time. Otherwise, the

sending capacity of the remote control will be too low.

 Always replace both batteries simultaneously and use

batteries of the same type.

33

Caution!

Batteries may contain toxic agents that are hazardous
to health and environment. Therefore, dispose of the
batteries in any case according to the prevailing
statutory regulations. Never throw the batteries into
normal household waste.

 Check the batteries of your remote control at least

once a year.

 If one battery has leaked, wear protective gloves and

clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth.

The remote control transmits infrared signals to the
receiver. Please refer to the overview of the remote
control for the functioning of the keys.

 Point the remote control towards the front side of the

receiver and slightly press the corresponding key
once.

34

Caution!
