A : Turn on the power to the controller and the modem. The power buttons for both of these are on the front of the controller (black box w/ blue face) when the power is on wait a few moments for the controller software to load up. The controller has a touch screen so when you see the "Automatic" option on the screen just touch it with the end of your finger. The controller will then open a new page and you will see an option that says "Quick Deploy with GPS" touch that option with the end of your finger and the dish should automatically stand up and find the satellite. If you are watching the controller it will tell you when it is locked onto the satellite.
