The antenna is balanced at the factory. However, after disassembly for shipping,
maintenance or parts replacements, antenna balance adjustment may be
required.
The elevation and cross-level motors have a brake mechanism integrated into
them, therefore the antenna power and IDLE MODE must be ON to release the
motor brakes. Balancing is achieved by adding or removing weight blocks at
strategic locations to keep the antenna balanced.
IDLE MODE : Press the UP and DOWN arrow keys to turn ON / OFF IDLE
MODE. The motor brakes will be released while IDLE MODE is ON. The antenna
will restart automatically if IDLE MODE is re-set from ON to OFF or the BACK
key is pressed to exit SETUP mode.
REBOOT ANTENNA : The antenna will restart automatically if REBOOT
ANTENNA is ON.
