3.1 Choice of location
3.2 Connecting the antenna unit
Make sure that there are no obstacles in front of the antenna which can decrease the
signal reception quality, such as buildings, or trees (you may keep in mind that trees will
grow and may block the signal). In order to be able to fix and install your antenna easily
you might choose an easily accessible place without any potential danger for installation. Think about the way you might pass your cable in a discreet way from the Satmaster
Portable to your set-top box.

Position the antenna housing with the integrated compass so that the satellite antenna
can set up roughly in the south.
3. Polarization (Skew settings)
The satellite direction and the angle of
polarization of the LNB is different in each
region and must be set manually (see page

Wait 10 seconds for the automatic search with the last setting to start. To
change the setting or to search manually, press any key within 10 seconds
of any button on the control panel.
Did you press a button, the satellite name appears on the LCD. If not, the
antenna is now investigating the pre-satellite and you can skip the next 6 steps.
Sample Elevation selection
Satellite signal is found
Confirmed that the signal from
the target satellite is correct
Select the desired satellite using the „up“ - and „down“ buttons.
Then press the „Set“ button to accept the setting.
A few seconds later the „elevation angle menu“ on the LCD.
Choose an appropriate elevation with the „up“ - and „down“ buttons.
Note: This is not absolutely necessary, but it speeds up the search process.
Then press the „Set“ button to accept the setting.
Wait until your antenna has finished scanning and positioning.
After commissioning, you must turn off the power supply so that you can
receive all TV programs easily. Do not remove the input cable between antenna and set-top box.
The control unit switches off automatically to standby. You can now
turn off complete the power supply
with the power switch.
After positioning is completed the TV reception is automatically started and you receive a TV signal. If you get no
TV, check all connections and settings (Receiver, antenna and TV) and follow the above steps again.
If you want to stop using the Satmaster Portable or mount the antenna for transportation to the park position, turn
on the antenna power supply and wait until the antenna is moved to park position. Then turn off the power again
and can wrap the antenna.
Can not find a satellite signal.
Check the orientation of the antenna and the
setting of the polarization angle.
Note:
Some Satellite IDs have north or south frequency for search.
Please choose where you are currently (north or south).
Sample: If you are in Denmark, select Astra 1 North.
If you are in Italy, select Astra 1 Süd.
If you are in Central Europe, select Astra 1 North or South.

3.5 Example for locating the satellite
Satellite position
Polarisation (Skew):
Obtain the Skew Angle of the chosen satellite to tilt your antenna to the specified degree by looking to the degree graduation located on the back of the LNB skew degree
controller.
Elevation:
Adjust the elevation angle corresponding to the table at page 12.
Note: This festure is only available with the Premium and Professional version.
Azimuth:
All EU-related satellites are in the south. The azimuth angle increases or decreases from
one satellite to another.

Signals in the vertical (red) and horizontal (blue) line have an offset of exactly 90° to each
other. Due to the different position of the satellites, depending on your location, it is possible that the signals do not meet exactly vertically and horizontally on the LNB. To adjust
this, turn the LNB into the correct position to the transmitted signal. This adjustment to
the LNB is called „skew adjustment“. The following illustration shows the optimal setting
of the LNB. More accurate the match, the better of reception.

Satellite Signal
1. Blown fuse
With the system powered on, move the antenna reflector slowly by hand. If the reflector
does not move freely, a fuse is not the Problem. If the reflector does move freely, one
of the two fuses mounted on the CPU Board may have blown or been broken. The Satmaster Portable Technical Manual Provides detailed instructions for authorized service
personnel who may be required to replace a fuse. Contact your local Megasat dealer or
service center for assistance.
2. Low power
If the power cable to the antenna unit is more than 50 feet (15 m), the power levels can
decrease over the course of the cable, resulting in a voltage or current level at the antenna unit that is too low to power the system Properly. The Satmaster Portable Technical Manual Provides detailed instructions for supplying adequate power to the antenna
unit. Contact your local Megasat dealer or service center for assistance.
3. Cable connection
Also, an incorrect cable connection may be the reason that the system is not functioning
properly. Check all cables and connections. Trained service personnel can assist you.
Contact your Megasat dealer.
4. Satellite signal blocked
Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings, other vessels, or equipment
on the vessel itself. Simply moving the vessel or obstruction will clear the signal.
5. Satellite coverage issue
Satmaster Portable will Provide outstanding reception within the 18” (46 cm) antenna
coverage area for your satellite television service of choice. However, reception can be
degraded as you apProach the fringe coverage areas. Refer to your satellite television
service manual to check the viable coverage area for a18” (46 cm) antenna.
6. Radar interference
The energy levels radiated by radar units can overload the antenna’s front-end circuits.
Check with your installer to make certain that the Satmaster Portable antenna unit is in
the optimal location with regard to your radar unit.
7. Satellite Frequency Data changed
If some channels work while one or more other channels do not, or if the antenna is unable to find the satellite, the selected satellite’s frequency data may have changed. This
frequency data can be updated via the maintenance port. Contact your local Megasat
dealer or service center for assistance.
