Satellite Transmission; Startup And Operation - Megasat Caravanman Kompakt Mode D'emploi

4. Satellite transmission

Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data information
from satellites located 22.000 miles in space. A receiving station, such as the antenna,
should include a dish and satellite receiver to receive the signals and process them for
use by the consumer audio and video equipment. The system requires a clear view of
the satellite to maximize the signal reception.
good reception signal
Objects such as large houses, bridges and trees that block this view will cause a loss of
signal. The signal will be quickly restored once the antenna has a clear line of sight again.
Heavy rain, clouds, snow or ice may also interfere with the signal reception quality. If the
satellite signal is lost due to blockage or severe weather condition, services from the
receiver will be lost (picture will freeze frame and may disappear). When the satellite
signal strength is again high enough, then the receiver will resume providing desired
programming services.

5. Startup and Operation

1. Turn on the control unit at the main switch. The green LED (PWR) on the control unit
lights up - the boot process starts.
2. After booting the pre-installed satellites are displayed. Choose within 2 seconds the
desired satellite with the satellite selection buttons (up / down).
3. The control unit checks whether all components
are connected and the system is ready for opera-
tion. If the control unit found an error, the display
shows „FAIL" behind the respective point and the
red LED (ERR) is lit continuously. If everything is
confirmed with OK now starts the search process.
During the search operation, the yellow LED indi-
cator (SEARCH) flashes.
