The driver of the vehicle must visually verify that the antenna is fully folded by inspecting the antenna unit before driving off. Avoid cleaning user's vehicle with the mounted satellite system in a drive-through car wash or a car wash with a high-pressure cleaner.

The unit is programmed to automatically move in a direction that can to receive preset satellite TV signal. For general operation, ensure that the system is in a position with a clear view of the sky. If the satellite‘s signal is interrupted by obstacles such as moun- tains, buildings or trees, no TV signal will be received. Installation must be performed by sufficiently qualified personnel.

STB TVENGLISH - 5 WARNING If the PI BOX is powered off and the vehicle is moved while the antenna is not in the HOME position, the antenna may be damaged. Before moving the vehicle, first check the condition of the antenna, and turn off after is fully folded to the HOME position. 2-2. How to Use HOME LED POWER LED HOME button POWER button Fixed hole Power to STB to unit The pre-programmed satellite is ASTRA1, which can be changed to the desired satellite via the APP

When the antenna is in the HOME position, it starts searching for satellite. When the antenna is pointing towards the satellite, it will not move. When the antenna is in a different position than in the case of a and b above, it first moves to the HOME position and then starts searching for satellite.

If the antenna does not find a satellite for 10 minutes, the antenna returns to its HOME position. Want to search for satellites again, reboot the PI BOX.

Press POWER button Press and hold the power button of the PI BOX for more than 2 seconds, the power is turned off regardless of the state of the antenna. Press HOME button When the home button of PI BOX is pressed the antenna moves to the HOME position and the power is automatically turned off after about 60 seconds (the POWER LED and the HOME LED will blink alternately for 60 seconds) Ignition Occurrred When ignition occurs in the vehicle, the antenna automatically moves to the HOME position and power off after 60 seconds. (If the PI BOX is turned off at this time, it will automatically turn on and then perform the operation.) When powered on by pressing the PI BOX's power button, after about 10 seconds, the antenna starts searching for pre-programmed or most recently received satellite.

While searching for a satellite, the orange lamp flashes, and when a satellite is found, the green lamp lights up F/W Update Used to update the firmware of the antenna Basic Features

All LNBs require their rotational angle (skew) to be set within certain limits in order to the best signal quality received. The actual "skew angle" depends on the satellite and your location. Refer to the satellites you want to receive and your location in the image below and adjust the skew accordingly. Accuracy is not critical, so small toler- ances are acceptable. Turning the LNB little by little to find the position that maximizes the signal quality of the satellites on your TV screen, and then fix the LNB. Turksat @ 42.0°E Astra2 @ 28.2°E
