Manually Controlling the Antenna

In certain circumstances, you may need to control the azimuth,
elevation, and tracking of the TracVision G8 antenna manually,
using the process shown in Figure 3-11. Wait until the antenna
has fully initialized, then use the + and - buttons to manually
move the dish. Azimuth measurements are reported as relative to
the bearing of the vessel’s bow.
