3.1 Receiving Satellite TV signals
Television satellites are located in fixed positions above the Earth's equator and beam TV
signals down to certain regions of the planet. To receive TV signals from a satellite, you
must be located within that satellite's unique coverage area. To check it, see "Appendix B
– Satellite Coverage Map" In addition, since TV satellites are located above the equator,
the Ocean Line antennas must have a clear view of the sky to receive satellite TV signals.
Anything that stands between the antenna and the satellite can block the signal, resulting
in lost reception. Common causes of blockage include lighthouses, boat masts, trees,
buildings, and bridges. Heavy rain, ice, or snow might also temporarily interrupt satellite
signals.
3.2 Turning the system On/Off
Since power to the Ocean Line antenna systems are controlled by the Control Box, you
can turn the antenna on or off by applying/removing operating power to the Control Box.
Turning on the system
Follow the steps below to turn on your Ocean Line antenna system.
1. Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky.
2. Turn on your satellite TV receiver and TV.
3. Apply operating power to the Control Box.
4. Wait one minute for system start-up. The Control Box will display the
Tracking Satellite screen after system testing is complete
Turning off the System
