Work through these checks
01 · Kathrein CAP Converter V2
Match the exact model, product code and manual edition. Record the existing connections, status indicators and displayed error without changing them. Preserve settings and stored data; do not reset, flash software, format storage or alter wiring as a first check. Keep account details, device identifiers and precise location private.
02 · CAP Converter V2 / 204500001 / ANTENNA / TV/STB / RESET / CONTROL UNIT / STATUS / CAPcontrol
Use the manufacturer-hosted original only for CAP Converter V2 / 204500001; preserve footer 936500048/d/A5/MK/0126/GB without inferring a publication date. Record STATUS colour, flashes, pause and context, plus existing ANTENNA / TV/STB paths and CONTROL UNIT setup. Steady green means satellite found; steady red can mean standby. Normal red error groups pause 2 seconds, while USB-update red errors pause 1.5 seconds and mean different things. Yellow can mean USB data transfer: never interrupt a known update. A pushbutton can deploy, park or reset the system; RESET and CAPcontrol are not first diagnostic tests. Avoid disconnecting an operating unit; wait for standby before routine power isolation. Observe existing states; isolate powered cables safely before touching accessible connections and stop for damage. No motor/search tests, resets, software or voltage changes, battery work, live cable reconnection or roof access. Protect site/serial identifiers. Historical examples do not guarantee current compatibility.
