If the satellite signal is lost while the system is in conical scan
track mode, the control software imposes a 45-second time-out
delay. If the signal is not regained during that time, the antenna
reverts to the set of Search Modes to start looking for the satellite
signal. This is an automatic process that does not require user
intervention.
