Hi folks,

My van came complete with a fitted Kathrein Mobiset 2 CAP 200 system. It also came with an operating instruction manual that is totally written in German!! Anyone know where I can pick up instructions in good old English or know how it works and give me some tips. The previous owner has emigrated and I have no way of contacting him for advice.

Regards

Nigel

it should point about 142 0 not sure on how to do %,0 if it has an arm it should be more or less upright, if the arm is in the middle of the dish its about 20 0% in the UK. start off in pointing to the east, turning to the south, the first sat you get and it should lock.

 just a bit drunk tonight as its my first night out for a few days, after taking the wife to london for tests at the hospital. try it and see.

your sat should be 28degrees east of south to catch astra 2 sat. if you log on to the maxview website you,ll get all the information you need to set up your dish but you will need their compass when your away inyour van. best of luck hope this helps

most of the time i just get a quick fix with the compass and a cheap sat finder makes a sound when its getting close. i just tweak it a bit after that but i did have a bad lead on the bonfire meet and it would not lock. but thats sorted now.
