15 Enter Your Latitude & Longitude If you set up the system for a Tri-Sat mode, and you do not have a GPS connected to the ADCU, follow these steps to enter your vessel’s latitude and longitude into the system. IMPORTANT! If you set up the system for one or two satellites, you may skip this step since you already entered latitude/longitude during the satellite selection process; proceed to page 22. NOTE: The antenna will use your position information to speed up satellite acquisition. If the antenna knows where you are, it knows where it should start looking for the satellite. In addition, for a linear system, the antenna will use your position information to calculate the correct LNB skew angle. TIP: You can determine your approximate latitude and longitude in Europe or North America from the position grids provided in Appendix G on page 46.

Press the center MENU button on the ADCU to access the onscreen menu (see Figure 38). b. At “Setup display type?”, press NEXT until the display shows “Control antenna?” Then press ENTER and press YES to confirm. c. At “Man control antenna?”, press NEXT until the display shows “Set Lat/Long?” Then press YES. d. At “Latitude”, use the - and + buttons to set each digit of the vessel’s latitude. Press ENTER to accept each digit. e. At “Longitude”, set the vessel’s longitude. f. At “Set Lat/Long?,” press NEXT until the display shows “Restart antenna?” Then press YES. Wait one minute while the antenna restarts.

16 Get the LNB Skew Angle To optimize reception, the antenna’s LNB must be set to the correct skew angle for the linear satellite(s) you want to track. Follow these steps to determine the correct skew angle for your currently selected satellite and vessel position. TIP: You might also be able to get the correct skew angle from the customer’s satellite service provider. Figure 39: Skew Angle Menus on ADCU Menu Linear Systems Only a. Press the center MENU button on the ADCU to access the onscreen menu (see Figure 39). b. At “Setup display type?”, press NEXT until the display shows “Get antenna status?” Then press ENTER and press YES to confirm. c. At “Get system errors?”, press NEXT until the display shows “Get skew angle?” Then press YES. d. The display shows the calculated skew angle for the selected satellite and position. Note this number for future reference. NOTE: If you did not connect a GPS to the ADCU, the antenna will use the position information you entered earlier to calculate the correct LNB skew angle. e. Press any button. The display returns to the “Get skew angle?” screen. f. Press RETURN until you exit the menu. TIP: This procedure provides the correct skew angle for the currently selected satellite only. If you selected multiple satellites in Step 14, you might wish to calculate the average skew instead. To find the average skew, select the second satellite (see the User’s Guide for details) then repeat the procedure above to get the calculated skew angle for the second satellite (repeat for the third satellite if Tri-Sat). Add the skew angle numbers and divide by two (or three if Tri-Sat) to get the average. Setup display type? Enter Next Return Get antenna status? Enter Next Return Get system errors?
