How
do I load the meter?
Use
the "Meter Tool" found on the software
pages.
This tool interfaces with your meter for loading new
operating
software to the meter, downloading your satellite/channel list from the
meter to your PC, and for uploading new or modified lists to your
meter. This tool also allows you to modify and save a list of
satellites and channels. The recently released V1.2 tool now
allows you to add and delete satellite names.
Version
Update
Version
updates are done
using the "Load
software" button. After the
load completes, do a
factory
reset to load the satellites that are
included in the version update.
Satellite
Lists
Use the "Write
parameters"
button to load a different satellite list. The list will
appear
in meter. Doing
a

Things
you
should know.
There are a few simple things
you need to
know to make your meter recognize the satellite transponder you want.
If you have installed a FTA receiver, you will find the meter
operates very much the same.- The LO setting of the meter MUST match the LNBF
you
are using.
MAIN MENU > Satellite Setting > Dish Setup > LNB type- Enter the LO frequency of your LNB/F
- The transponder frequency, polarity, Symbol
Rate
(S/R) MUST be correct.
MAIN MENU > Satellite Setting > EDIT SATELLITES- Arrow up or down to find the satellite you want to work with
- Right arrow to highlight the frequency, polarity, S/R
- Arrow up or down to choose the frequency, polarity, S/R that you want
- Press "OK" to open the Edit window, change each setting as needed using the keypad for frequency and S/R. Use the right or left arrow to change the polarity setting
- Highlight "Save" and press "OK"
