How to use the system

A. How to start.

Warning before using the system:

- Never switch to O position whilst watching TV. The picture will disappear.

- Never use the main switch on the S.S.C.® unit to close the satellite system. Always follow the

instructions and undertake a complete closing procedure.

- Never let the battery go under 10 Volts. If the "Low bat" led comes on, this means the battery is

under 9 Volts. In this case, you will have to go through the closing procedure to be able to use

the S.S.C.® unit again.

- If something happens to stop the dish from turning, the ''Error led'' will come on. For general

safety reasons, always make sure nothing will block the satellite system before putting it in

search mode.

1. Switch the S.S.C.® on by switching to I. If the dish was up before doing this, it will automatically come

down. No other manipulation will be possible until the dish is totaly folded down.

2. Use the Green button to select a satellite. Keep your finger down on this button to go from one satellite

to another. Each time you change satellites, you will hear a beep-tone. The satellites will change in the

following order: OPTUS D2

OPTUS D2

3.Once you have chosen a satellite, the green LED will flash for a few seconds and then stay on, then the

OPTUS C 1

blue LED, which indicates the position of the LNB, will also flash. Make sure by refering to page 6 to 9

OPTUS D 1

that the LNB is in the right position depending on the chosen satellite and your geographical position.

If not, use the blue button to select the appropriate position amongst the 5 zones.

INTELSAT 8

Example:

• You are in Melbourne and you have selected Optus C1: you must now select the blue LED which

corresponds to zone 1.

• You are in Broome and you have selected Optus D1: you must now select the blue LED which corresponds

to zone 4.

4. The Search LED will come on: this means that the system is searching the chosen satellite. Once the

system has found the satellite, the Search LED will go off and you will hear 2 beep-tones.

Please take note:

• When you use the system for the first time or if you have changed areas, the search may take a little

longer.

• If the Error LED starts to flash, make sure you have not left the ignition key on, on your vehicle.

• Everytime you turn the S.S.C.® unit on, the last chosen satellite and the last position of the LNB will

automatically be selected. This avoides any manipulation if the choice of the satellite and the LNB

position do not change.
