Updating Satellite Frequency Data
If the antenna is unable to find a satellite, or if you are unable to
receive certain channels, the satellite’s frequency data might have
changed. The satellite frequency scan feature allows you to update the
frequency data of any satellite stored in the system’s library.
With the desired satellite, band, and polarization selected, the system
will automatically search for the frequency with the strongest signal.
The system will then update that satellite’s programmed data with the
new frequency (and associated network ID) and store it in the satellite
library.
You will need to enter the following information:
• Symbol rate (valid range: 01000 - 39999)
• FEC code (valid codes: 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6, 6/7, and 7/8)
You can find satellite information on the web at www.lyngsat.com
(this website is not affiliated with KVH).
To update the satellite frequency data, follow the steps below.
1. Set your satellite receiver to signal meter mode. Refer to
your selected receiver’s user manual for details.
2. Using the receiver, select the desired polarization and
band. Refer to your selected receiver’s user manual for
details.
3. If the system is unable to locate the selected satellite,
you can manually point the antenna. Refer to
“Manually Controlling the Antenna” on page 45 for
details.
4. Use the flowchart in Figure A-2 on page 47 to scan the
frequency data of the selected satellite.
The vessel must remain stationary throughout this procedure.
IMPORTANT!
Ensure that the TV signal meter indicates that you have a strong
signal.
