Search pattern 1 and 3 will be initiated in accordance with GYRO type and the existence of GYRO input.
The BOW OFFSET is to offset the angle difference between the antenna’s bow and the ship’s bow.
(Range 0 to 360).
NOTE: The bow offset will not be saved automatically if Search 1 pattern is initiated. In this case,
the antenna will need to retarget the desired satellite using Search 1 every time the antenna restarts.
Modem interface setting will be set automatically once the modem type is
selected. The options on the next page will be displayed and required to be set
if USER SETTING is selected.
