Updating Satellite Frequency Data

If the antenna is unable to find a satellite, the satellite’s frequency
data may have changed. The Satellite Frequency Scan feature
allows you to update the frequency data of any satellite stored in
the system’s library.

This function should not be used unless directed by KVH
Technical Support or a KVH-authorized technician.

With the desired satellite, band, and polarization selected, the
system will automatically search for the frequency with the
strongest signal. The system will then update that satellite’s
programmed data with the new frequency (and associated
network ID) and store it in the satellite library.

To update the satellite frequency data, follow the steps below:

1. Place your IRD in the satellite signal meter mode.

2. Select the desired satellite on the ADCU. Ensure

the TV signal meter indicates that you have a
strong signal.

If the antenna is unable to find the selected
satellite automatically, you can manually point the
antenna using the Manual mode (see “Manually
Controlling the Antenna” on page 82
).

3. Select the desired polarization and band on the

IRD.

4. Do not move the vessel. Your boat must remain

motionless during the entire Satellite Frequency
Scan process.

5. Follow the ADCU menus on the next page. The

scan itself will take a couple of minutes. Once
complete, restart the antenna and ensure the
antenna will track the new frequency.
