dish. The ASTRA satellite is located at 19.2° East. Find with a compass what is  
North and South, keep the Compass in your hand and turn your position until  
South is in front of your face. Now turn 19 Degrees to he left, this is roughly the-  
position where the Astra satellite must be found.  
6. Now slowly move your dish to the left or to the right , make small steps to allow  
the (green) signal bars to display the signal level. Note that you will not see any  
green bars until you have aimed your dish to the ASTRA satellite correctly.  
If you can not find the signal by turning Left or Right, then increase or decrease  
the vertical angle of you dish and again turn Left and Right. Repeat these steps  
until you see the Green signal bars appearing.  
7. Once you see the bars, try to optimize the Level and Quality bars my making  
very small movements with the dish in Left, Right, Upper or Lower direction.

receiver by disconnecting it from mains power. Wait 30 seconds and connect to mains  
power again and now check if the unit is working as expected. If the receiver does not  
work properly after checking the trouble shooting section, please contact the dealer. Don't  
open the receiver cover, it may cause an electrical shock due to high current voltage and  
the warranty of your receiver will be void if the receiver has been opened.
