DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT RECEIVER?
Note: Receivers with remotes that do not output Infrared will not
operate the OSD.
Your MotoSAT dish will work with most all new receivers, but some of the older receivers may not operate
properly. Please make sure that your receiver type is listed below*:
DISH NETWORK - The Positioner will operate with most all Dish Network Satellite Receivers, past and
current (some exceptions may apply, see above). Please consult MotoSAT Technical support with any
questions or concerns.
DirecTV – Works with:
*RCA Models - 420 Series (420, 440 480) and 430 Series (430, 450, 485).
Sony SAT-A65, B65, A65-A, B65-A
Hughes GCEBO, GCEBOA, GAEBO, GABEOA, Remotes on these models are EXTREMELY sensitive and
are not recommended.

THE MotoSAT Executive OSD Positioner
NOTE – You will need to place the MotoSAT Positioner (OSD) inside the same cabinet that your receiver is
located. Wireless communication is happening between the MotoSAT Positioner and the TV Receiver that
is not possible when units are separated (see Figure 1).
LIGHTS & BUTTONS
GREEN LIGHT - The green light on the far-left side of the front panel shows that the Dish LNB is getting power
from the Satellite TV Receiver.
RED LIGHT 1 – The first red light on the left, when blinking, shows that the Positioner is receiving a command from
your Remote.
RED LIGHT 2 – The second red light, when blinking, shows that the dish is moving.
POWER - The MotoSAT Positioner only has one button for turning the system ON and OFF. When pressed, it will
turn ON the positioner and glow blue.
a. When pressed for longer than 10 seconds, this button will automatically stow a raised dish.
b. When pressed for longer than 30 seconds, this button will erase the Remote Setting and then the
display will ask you to press the Guide button on your remote to pick your receiver type. This
task will also erase all satellite selections except 101° (DirecTV), 119° (Dish NetWork) and 91°
(Bell ExpressVu)
This is a Memory Reset Function

FUNCTIONS OF YOUR MotoSAT SYSTEM
AUTOMATIC SEARCH AND LOCK ON THE CORRECT SATELLITE
MotoSAT gives you on-screen control of your satellite system. No matter where you find yourself in the
United States, your system is smart enough to make sure you have connected to the satellite of your
choice. Simply choose “Find Satellite” on the Main Menu screen displayed on your TV and follow the
on-screen instructions.
STOWING THE DISH
Stowing the dish is only necessary when using the MotoSAT Executive “open face” dish, which does
need to be stowed for traveling. You have the option of stowing the dish from the on-screen controls, or
by pressing and holding the ON button of the Positioner for more than 10 seconds.
QUICK RE-ACQUIRING OF LAST KNOWN SATELLITE
Sometimes you may have wanted to stow the dish because of high winds of some other reason. As
long as the vehicle has not moved, you may choose this option from the main menu and the dish will
rise up and go directly to the satellite with out having to do a search pattern.
MOVING THE DISH TO ANOTHER SATELLITE
You have the option of moving your dish to another satellite at will when a different satellite has different
programming. To change satellites while you’re watching TV, press the OFF button on the remote…this
action will bring up the MotoSAT Power Off menu that allows you to switch to another satellite. Here
you may highlight the satellite you wish to move to.
NOTE – All MotoSAT systems normally come with only one Satellite location. Adding other satellite
locations is easy. All you need are the “working” satellite longitudes from your dealer and enter these
longitudes in the “Add or Remove Satellite” menu.
RE-PEAKING ON SATELLITE IF RIG HAS SETTLED
If you own a bus or other rig that settles over time, this option is for you. Instead of stowing and
relocating the satellite, which is time consuming, you may simply choose “Re-Peaking” and the dish will
begin to re-peak on the satellite to strengthen the signal. To get to the repeaking options, simply press
the OFF button on the remote and the “Power Off Button” menu will appear.
NOTE – You must be on the satellite for this function to work. Re-Peaking only recenters the dish on the
satellite.
ADDING AND REMOVING SATELLITES
Normally, your MotoSAT dish will come with 1 satellite location. You have the ability to add other
satellites to your system, and then quickly move the dish to each of them any time you like.
To ADD a satellite, please go to the “Add or Remove Satellite” menu.
SAFETY STOWING OPTIONS
Your MotoSAT system has certain Stow features that you may desire to use or not. There are three
options:
• You can automatically stow dish if the power goes off on the Satellite Receiver.
• You can automatically stow the dish if AC power is lost to the rig.
• You can automatically stow the dish of the signal is lost. This feature is good if you
accidentally move the rig without stowing the dish first.
To change any of these items, please go to the “Options” menu screen.
CHANGING DISH SIZE
Your installer normally sets this function. You have the option of choosing an 18” dish or a 24” dish.
Default is 18”. This setting is found on the “Options” menu screen. (MiniDome is same as 18” dish).
6
CHANGING REMOTE CONTROL TYPE
Your installer normally sets this function. However, you may have purchased a new Satellite Receiver,
in which case, you will need to tell the MotoSAT positioner which kind of Satellite Receiver you are now
using. Holding the front panel button in for 30 seconds can also do this function. If the power button is
held in for 30 seconds it will also erase satellites stored in memory. (See POWER pg. 4 for details).
To make this selection, please go to the “Options” menu screen.
TESTING DISH
A Test Dish function is automatically executed at time of installation. Any further selection of this
feature will check all functional capabilities of the mount. If Test Dish fails, go to Trouble Shooting.

USING YOUR MotoSAT SYSTEM
There are four basic operations that you will use any time you want to watch television.
1. TURNING ON THE SYSTEM
2. FINDING SATELLITE
3. STOWING THE DISH
4. TURNING OFF THE SYSTEM
Of course there are many other functions you may perform, but for now, let’s focus on getting the TV working.
TURNING ON THE SYSTEM
Two things need to be turned ON in order for your system to function.
• The MotoSAT Positioner box
• Your television
NOTE: Your Satellite Receiver will be turned on by The MotoSAT Positioner when it needs to be turned on. The
MotoSAT “ON” button illuminates blue when it is on. Obviously, the TV must be turned on.
When the system turns on, you should immediately see the MotoSAT Positioner Main Menu Screen seen below, if not,
press “Menu” on your satellite receivers’ remote.
CHANGING RECEIVER OUTPUT TO CHANNEL 3 OR 4*
To change the output of your satellite receiver from 3 to 4 or back, simply (with FIND SATELLITE
selected) press the 3 key on your remote for channel 3 and/or 4 for channel 4.
Note: DON’T FORGET TO CHANGE THE CHANNELS ON YOUR TV TO CORRESPOND TO THE
CHANGE JUST MADE.
*Some OSD Positioners have a manual 3 / 4 switch in the back. If your system has this manual
switch, then, you must do it manually.
