You need to reset the motor.

A paper clip (straightened out!) is ideal for poking into the relevant hole under the motor body.

Do use the manual buttons to drive it as close as you can to zero before inserting the paper clip as resetting will cause the dish to move to precisely zero.

.....poking into the relevant hole

A case of precision and good handling required ;)

Yes, in addition I think you can also reset the motor on the 'motor settings' menu on your Technomate receiver.

Well check the Motor Instruction leaflet ............ IIRC there is more than one hole - one for reset and one for drainage.

Hopefully it has been designed so that getting the wrong hole is entirely benign.


But also see SM's post re. using the Technomate to do it - not familiar with that procedure myself, but do look at the menus.
