- Allow the device to charge fully before first use (approximately 3 hours for full charge). The 'Charge' LED will change or turn off when charging is complete.
5.2. Connecting to LNB
- Assegureu-vos que el dispositiu estigui apagat.
- Connect the coaxial cable from your LNB (Low Noise Block) to the F-connector on the top of the WS-6933.
- If connecting to a satellite receiver or TV, connect a second coaxial cable from the WS-6933's output (if available, otherwise connect the LNB directly to the finder and then the finder to the receiver/TV after alignment).
6. Funcionament
6.1. Encès / apagat
Toggle the power switch located on the top panel to turn the device ON or OFF.
6.2. Navegació del menú
- Use the directional arrow buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right) to navigate through menu options.
- Premeu el botó OK botó per seleccionar una opció o confirmar una configuració.
- Premeu el botó TORNAR button to go back to the previous menu or exit a function.
6.3. Satellite Selection and Signal Scan
- From the main menu, select 'Sat Setting' or 'Signal Scan'.
- Choose the desired satellite from the list. You may need to adjust parameters like LNB Type, Low Frequency, High Frequency, TP NUM, Frequency, and Symbol Rate.
- Adjust the dish direction using the mechanical compass and observe the signal strength and quality readings on the LCD. The integrated beep will become more frequent and higher pitched as the signal improves.
- Fine-tune the dish position until the signal quality percentage is maximized and the 'Lock' LED illuminates, indicating a stable signal.
6.4. Ús de la llanterna
The device includes a built-in flashlight on the bottom for use in low-light conditions. Refer to the device's controls for activating this feature (often a long press on a specific button or a dedicated switch).
7. Manteniment

8. Solució De Problemes
8.1. Sense poder
- Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the device to the power adapter and check if the 'Charge' LED illuminates.
- Verifiqueu que l'interruptor d'alimentació estigui en la posició 'ON'.
8.2. No Signal Reading
- Check all coaxial cable connections to ensure they are secure.
- Verify that the LNB is correctly connected and powered. The 13V/18V LEDs should indicate LNB power.
- Ensure the correct satellite and transponder parameters are selected in the 'Sat Setting' menu.
- Confirm that the satellite dish is pointed in the general direction of the satellite using the mechanical compass.
8.3. Weak Signal/Poor Quality
- Fine-tune the dish's azimuth (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) angles slowly. Small adjustments can make a significant difference.
- Check for any obstructions between the dish and the satellite (e.g., trees, buildings).
- Ensure the LNB skew (rotation) is correctly set for your location.
