Note! You should only activate the geo-positioning
function if your DiSEqC motor supports this function.
>
As described above, call up the menu for setting the
motorised antenna.
> Use the
arrow keys to mark the field Geo.Pos.
> Confirm by pressing
OK. A menu will b e displayed,
allowing you to enter your location. (Fig. 9-9)
> Use the

The data relating to your location must be entered as a
decimal figure, correct to one decimal point. As the co-
ordinates are frequently stated in terms of degrees, minutes
and seconds, these must be converted to decimal values as
follows:
The full degree figures remain unchanged by the calculation.
The minutes are divided by 60, and rounded to one decimal
point. The result of this division is added to the degree figure.
The seconds are not considered at all, as they do not affect
the first decimal point.
Example: co-ordinates of Daun/Germany
Latitude 50° 11‘
(
45“) N
Longitude 06° 50‘ (10‘‘) E
Conversion of the latitude (Lat):
Lat = 50 + 11/60
Lat = 50 + 0,2
(rounded)
Lat = 50,2
In the menu you will enter the value, rounded to one decimal
point, for geographical latitude (
50,2).
The decimal value for the longitude will be calculated in the
same way.
9.3 Setting a satellite position
For each satellite position to be included, work through the
