affect the first decimal place.
Example: Co-ordinates of Daun/Germany (home of TechniSat)
Latitude (deg.) 50° 11‘ (45“) N
Longitude (deg.) 06° 50‘ (10”) E
Conversion of degree latitude (lat):
Lat = 50 + 11/60
Lat = 50 + 0,2 (rounded)
Lat = 50.2
In the menu used to enter the geographical latitude you would thus
enter the value rounded to one decimal place (50.2).
The decimal value of the degrees longitude will be calculated in the
same manner.
9.3 Setting a satellite position
For each satellite position to be entered, work through Points 9.3.1 to
9.3.3. When programming satellite positions, we recommend that you
begin with the satellite in the most easterly position, then work your
way through all the remaining positions in a westerly direction, finis-
hing off with the most extreme westerly satellite position. Your digital
receiver is pre-programmed at the factory for the most commonly used
satellite positions. In addition, you can configure user-defined satellite
positions (User 1 to User 14) for every possible orbital position.
9.3.1 Selecting a satellite position
9.3.1.1 Selecting a pre-programmed satellite position
> To accept a satellite position in the satellite list, use the
arrow keys to mark the field Sat new.
> Confirm by pressing OK.
A list with all the available satellite positions will be displayed.
(Fig. 9-10)
> Now use the arrow keys up/down to mark a satellite
position you would like to accept into the satellite list.
> Press OK to accept the selection.
With the Geo-positioning function set to On (Point 9.2), the dish
will now automatically be rotated to the programmed satellite position.
The rotation procedure will be indicated by a blinking display “turn”.
If the Geo-positioning function is switched Off, (Point 9.3.2.2) you
will have to turn the dish manually to the desired satellite position.
