Work through these checks
01 · SELFSAT SNIPE DISH2 · 65/85 cm family
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 · SAT CONNECT / HOME / Lock / DiSEqC / Turksat / DIP / V1.0 / v1.2
Match SNIPE DISH2 to the OEM cover V1.0, despite the archive filename v1.2; do not use original DISH settings. SAT CONNECT is a local control link, not proof of satellite reception. Record HOME, Lock, DiSEqC and the satellite LEDs together with whether an update is already running. In ordinary fault mode, the three fault indicators plus Turksat report low power; do not interpret one lamp alone or interrupt an update. Preserve DIP presets for the actual size/skew version. Fifteen idle minutes at HOME can cause normal power-off. Do not reset, flash, change DiSEqC or force movement; verify physical safe stow before driving. Inspect only while parked, with the movement area clear.
