Rozwiązywanie problemów

If you encounter issues with your KING UC1000 Universal Controller, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Signal or Poor Signal Quality:
  • Ensure all coaxial cable connections are tight and secure.
  • Verify that the KING Quest antenna has a clear line of sight to the southern sky (for most satellite services). Obstructions like trees or buildings can block the signal.
  • Check the length of your coaxial cable. Some users report optimal performance with cable lengths up to 50 feet. Excessive cable length can degrade signal quality.

• Security Alarm Beeping:
  • If the alarm beeps, it indicates a potential disconnection of the antenna from the controller while the system is powered. Ensure the antenna is securely connected before powering on the system.
• Compatibility Issues with Specific Receivers:
  • The UC1000 is designed for broad compatibility. If experiencing issues with a specific receiver, consult the receiver's manual for its satellite setup requirements.
