Operation Manual

Introduction

Your Oyster Digital Satellite Receiver unit is an intelligent receiving system, which

functions fully automatically and releases you from the whole laborious adjustment work

of a manual system.

Unlike a normal television antenna, a satellite unit must always be exactly aligned to the

satellite beam. There must be no interference with the signal from trees or other

obstructions otherwise satellite reception is not possible.

Always ensure that there is a “free view to the north”.

In order to get around a situation of not receiving comfortable satellite transmissions,

your Oyster Digital is removable. You can take it from the roof at any time and set it up

in a secure receiving position in the proximity of your vehicle. This only requires a

special floor support and extension cable (available as a “Floor installation kit”

accessory).

If a satellite unit is installed within a house, this generally requires only a simple initial set

up. As when you are mobile and your location is always changing (even a movement of a

few centimetres can require change), the satellite unit must be readjusted. However for

you as an Oyster Digital owner this only means the pressing of a button.

Oyster means exceptional operating comfort and programme versatility. Pressing a

button aligns the equipment and searches for all receivable satellites. The

microprocessor controlled fine adjustment as well as the digital receiver technique

provides for the best picture quality. Then you have all the TV and radio programmes

the new digital transmitting satellites simply through the remote controller. In fact you

can control the sound volume of the television through the Oyster remote control. This

spares you the complication of two remote controllers.

In order to meet various customer requirements, in addition to the normal switch-off

procedure your Oyster Digital also incorporates the facility of switching off with open

standing equipment (sleep mode). Therefore, with several usages over the day, the fold

up and fold down procedure of the dish can be avoided, while power saving standby

mode is available though.

On the first pages of these instructions you will find information on the operation of the

general functions of the receiver, then descriptions of the special functions of the Oyster

Digital as well as detailed explanations on the search functions.
