You must perform the learning procedure before installing

the antenna mast. This procedure allows you to make sure

the rotator goes the entire 360º with no problems. See the

Learning section below for more information.

A strong storm or power failure may cause the rotator to

change position. Use the

INITIAL

key to re-synchronize

the system. If this reset procedure doesn’t get the desired

results, the antenna of driver motor may be misaligned

on the antenna mast. You can either go to the antenna
