Manual

VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

BEFORE USE.

*Very Important:
The battery must be charged for 6-7
hours before using the meter for the first
time. Failure to do this will affect the
batteries life and performance.
*Your Latitude and Longitude will be
required for satellite meter setup. Please
go to the website below for your Latitude
and Longitude.

Battery:
Do not expose battery to High heat . Avoid excessive
physical shock or vibration. Do not disassemble
Satellite Meter or modify the battery or battery charger
in any way.
Do not leave battery in charger over 7 hours. Store
the battery in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area.
Promptly and properly dispose of used battery packs
according to local regulations for the disposal of
batteries. Damaged or leaking battery packs should

Charge the battery packs only with the specified
charger. Never use a modified or damaged charger.
Do not charge battery packs near combustible or
conductive materials. Charge the battery packs in a
well-ventilated room that does not exceed room
temperatures of 40oC/104oF.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
Do not expose the meter and charger to any type of
liquid, moisture or humidity it is not waterproof.
Please clean the meter and charger periodically with

1.2. Using the Meter for the First Time

Charge the battery before using it for the first time. When battery
is low the empty battery icon will flash. The battery life will depend
on the LNB power consumption. The larger the LNB power
consumption the shorter the battery life. The meter battery can
only be charged under shutdown status. The time to fully charge
the battery is approximately 4 hours.

1.3 Powering by OUTPUT Port

Meter must be OFF before connecting output port to live satellite
receiver. Failure to do this will result in a malfunction.
The input port of Satellite receiver can supply power to the Digital
Satellite Finder in operation. The meter itself doesnt have enough
power or when the meters battery is low. Connect its output port with
the satellite receivers input port. Make sure to turn on satellite
receiver.
Now you can finish the satellite dish installation powered by the
satellite receiver.

When a satellite longitude is entered, the meter will adjust according to the users
local coordinates. If the satellite can be seen, the picture will show the Azimuth,
Elevation and Polarization box. (A: E: P: Box).
As shown inFig. 5

Fig. 5
A: Azimuth
E: Elevation
P: Polarization means a C or Ku radio frequency is 00, The LNB turns clockwise
or counter clockwise. A positive number is clockwise, negative is counter
clockwise, also known as LNB skew.
If the satellite cannot be seen from the users location, the meter shows below
the horizon as seen in Fig. 6.

(2.2) Searching for signal

After satellite parameters have been entered, press ENTER to begin
satellite-searching interface, as shown in Fig. 8

Fig. 8 (Search Screen)

Begin turning the satellite dish to the correct compass heading. When the antenna is
close to the satellite, the meter will show an increasing value of S (Signal) and
Q (Quality) Bars. Continue to turn the antenna slowly in the direction that makes the
S/Q Bars increase. When the value is sufficient, the meter will sound a steady audible
tone. The
icon will appear on the display when signal is verified. Continue to tune
the antenna until the meter shows the maximum S/Q bar reading.
*The
icon will show only on satellites that have an ID Frequency.
In general if the S and Q are showing strong values you are
on the satellite frequency selected. Try to maximize the S and
Q Bars to obtain the best satellite signal.

Press [] [] to adjust F: (Frequency) parameter by 0.5MHz per step +/-.
