Scratched
screen?
If
you just bought a new meter you may notice that the screen looks
scratched or bubbled. This is actually the protective film
that
we use to protect the screen during the manufacturing process.
You can peel off this protective cover to reveal the glass
like
surface below. The surface of the screen is actually very
scratch
resistant.

First
time charging the battery
You should charge the
battery a minimum of 5 hours the first time. |
Upgrading
to a new software or new satellite list?
Make
sure your always power the meter using the provided AC power supply.
DO NOT unplug, disconnect or power down the meter until the
loading of the software is complete. Once it loads, the meter
will re-boot and once again show the menu. Once the menu
appears, the meter is ready to use.
Version upgrades take 3 to 6 minutes or more. List downloads
usually take slightly less time. |
Use
any satellite
name?
If you find you need to align to a satellite that's not
in your meter, you can use any satellite name in the meter
and edit the frequency, symbol rate and polarity of any
transponder to match what you want. The meter will work
perfectly
to find the information you've entered on the correct satellite.

Can't
see the screen in
bright sunlight?
All of our meter cases have a built in sun shade. Use the
velcro
strips attached to the cover and the side of the case to position the
cover to block the sun light making it easier to see your meter on
bright days. |
Removable
"F"
connector
We use a removable "F" connector on our meters because daily use can
wear down the thread on your connector. This way you can
replace
the "F" connector when needed. The "F" connector should be
only
snug and not over tightened to avoid damage to the meter. |
Blank
Screen?
If your meter has a blank screen press the "F1" key located just below
the power light. F1 turns the display on and off. |
Need
to MUTE the audio?
Pressing F2 will mute and un-mute the audio of any program playing on
your meter. |
