Any satellite within 20° longitude of the desired
satellite will be included as a required satellite
in the Search routine. To find 119, for example,
101, 110 and 119 are all required for a success-
ful Search routine.

dish level,
within 3° with
horizon?
YES
NO

retest the
Check
Switch
function?

Run Check Switch again
within 6 minutes.
NO
Retest Check
Switch function.
Does the
dish move
while per-
forming the
Check
Switch?
