How is the tricolor installed? Instructions for installing a satellite dish using the SatFinder satellite search device. Instructions for self-installation and configuration of the Tricolor TV satellite dish

In any group, be it large or small, in a student group, in a school class, in a word, wherever people live or work, in addition to their first and last names, for some reason they assign nicknames to each other. Whether it’s because it’s shorter or more fun, I don’t know. In our village, many people also have such nicknames.

I won’t write about other people’s nicknames here, but I’ll say it for myself – here behind my back they call me TELESPUTNIK. This is because I repair televisions and other household appliances, and also very often install and configure satellite dishes.

I’ll tell you how to quickly and correctly set up any satellite dish at minimal cost using the Tricolor satellite as an example.

First, a little economics.
When purchasing a set of satellite equipment, the seller will definitely offer you the services of specialists (usually his friends) to install it, because the vast majority of buyers do not know how to install satellite dishes.

With the cost of equipment sets, for example, 9...10 thousand rubles (Tricolor), or 5...8 thousand rubles. (Telecard), the cost of installation services in our area ranges from 1.5 thousand rubles to 2.5 thousand rubles, depending on the complexity of the installation work. Not 15 kopecks, however.

And in order to install an antenna in a rural area, you will also have to pay for the technician’s travel there and back, at the rate of approximately 7...8 rubles. per kilometer, because he will come to you not by bus, but with his tools and instruments in his car. And then the cost of installing a satellite dish increases significantly.

That’s why they turn to me, because I do it cheaper, and I don’t charge money for the journey...

To install a satellite dish yourself, you will need the following.

1. Set of satellite equipment (dish, receiver, converter, antenna wire)
2. Sat Finder antenna tuning device (any brand and model)
3. Adapters, F-connectors, 2 pcs.
4. Three self-clamping anchor bolts M6 X 120..150 mm, if the walls of the house are stone
5. Three large bolts - wood self-tapping screw M6 X 150...200 mm, if the walls are wooden
6. Hammer, if the walls are stone
7. Wrenches or adjustable wrenches, 10, 13, 14, 17 (depending on the bolts)
8. Compass.
9. A piece of antenna wire 1.5..2 meters

And now, as expected, a little theory. In order to understand what needs to be done and why.

There are many satellites in the sky (or rather, in space). They hang there motionless, in geostationary orbit, rotating with the earth, at a distance of approximately 36,000 km, and naturally, are not visible. Each satellite is located in its own point of space assigned only to it. The location of each satellite is precisely known, it is immutable, and is very precisely maintained. In order to understand how the satellites are located and where they are, imagine...a rainbow. The satellites are located above the horizon in approximately the same arc, from its left edge to the right. Depending on where in our large country you live, you will be able to “see” with your antennas a little more or a little less of different satellites.

Each satellite has its own name, like a name. For example, the Tricolor satellite, to which we will tune our antenna, was previously called Evtelsat W4 36E, now it is called Express AMU-1 - 36E. And Tricolor is just the trade name of the organization transmitting the signal through this satellite. Telekarta (Continent TV), for example, has another satellite, Intelsat15 85E.

In addition, the name of the satellite usually contains a number, for example, 36E, 85E, 90E, 5W, 9W, which indicates the longitude over which it hangs, that is, the approximate direction to this satellite on the horizon.

But in our case, the sun and compass will be used to determine the direction to the satellite.

First of all, before installing the antenna, you need to decide on which side of the house it should be installed. For the area where I live (Bashkortostan, 56 degrees east longitude) and the Tricolor satellite, this will be the southern side, approximately the place from which the sun is clearly visible from 12 to 14 o'clock in the afternoon. There should be no interference in the form of trees, roofs, or high-voltage power lines between you and the sun (satellite). The height of installation of the antenna on the wall does not matter; mount it where it is more convenient for you to adjust it, just so that the antenna does not interfere with the driveway or passage. For example, I have one of the antennas standing directly on the ground, on an iron stand. I don’t recommend placing an antenna on the roof; you’ll be tortured to climb later if something happens to it. Naturally, the dish should not be mounted under the edge of the roof either, so that rain, snow and ice do not subsequently fall on the antenna. It should be possible to rotate the antenna when adjusting to the left and right as widely as possible.
Here's an example of what it looks like.

Now about the plate. In fact, it is not exactly a plate, rather it is a part of it, slightly compressed from the sides and elongated. Such a dish is egg-shaped and is called offset; it works like a crooked mirror, not only collecting, but also REFLECTING radio waves from the satellite to the receiving converter.

Therefore, the procedure for adjusting the position of the plate is approximately the same as if you came to a shooting range and began to aim at the target, standing with your back to it, through a mirror.

Before the dish itself, with the receiving converter, is attached to the wall of the house, you need to more accurately determine the direction to the satellite. For now it will be approximately, according to the compass. I repeat once again, for my area it will be an azimuth of 204 degrees. Let me remind you, if anyone doesn’t remember: to take azimuth, you need to set the compass so that its arrow points to the north, and below it is the zero mark of its scale. Without moving the compass, find 204 degrees on the scale and note this direction on the ground. Let it be in the direction of some tree, building, bush, stone, or whatever you have.

High precision is not required here, everything is approximately. After this, stand at the place where the antenna will be installed and look carefully in this direction at the sky, at an angle to the horizon of approximately 20...25 degrees. The Tricolor satellite is located somewhere there. There should be no obstacles in this direction in the form of roofs, trees, branches, poles, or power lines. This is where you attach your plate.

If the wall of the house is wooden, then the process of attaching the plate should be treated with special care, making sure that the screws get into the supporting structure of the house, into a beam, into a log or into a partition. If you simply screw a plate onto boards or onto a lathing, then when the humidity changes (summer - autumn - winter - spring), the wood will swell a little or shrink a little, the plate will move, and the signal will disappear. This has happened many times in my practice.

The accuracy of the installation of the satellite dish greatly affects the quality of reception; the permissible vibration or error here is no more than 3 (three!) millimeters.

After the plate is secured, first set the position of the mirror strictly vertically, level or plumb, and then tilt it back a little by 1.5..2 centimeters. Do not overtighten the bolts on the plate mounting.

This photo clearly shows how far the plate needs to be tilted.

Connect the receiver to the TV as indicated in its instructions. Turn it on. The receiver will enter channel search mode. Don't press anything, leave it as is. Connect the antenna wire from the dish to the receiver. Then, outside, connect the wire coming from the receiver using F-connectors to the Sat Finder device, connect another wire, prepared in advance, short, to the converter on the plate. An approximate view of wire cutting in the figure.

If there are no breaks or short circuits in the wiring, then the scale backlight will light up. This means that food is reaching the plate. By rotating the sensitivity control of the device, make sure that the device begins to crackle a little from interference (but not squeak).

A little about the Sat Finder device.
Don't take it as an advertisement. Its name is SF-9501, it is sold in almost all electronic stores, or, as a last resort, on Alibaba.com. An indispensable thing when setting up any satellite dish. At a relatively low cost (400...600 rubles) it saves a huge amount of time and nerves.

The operating principle of this device is based on measuring the signal strength at the output of the converter and its sound and arrow indication.
There are various models and modifications, with displays, programmable, etc., but in our case, the simplest model will be more than enough.

Now that all connections have been checked and you can hear the noise crackling in the device, begin to slowly, very slowly move the plate horizontally to the left and then to the right. As the dish moves, you will hear several different signals from different satellites (there are many of them). Your task is to choose the strongest of them and leave the plate in this position.

Then use the regulator to reduce the sensitivity (beeper volume) of the Sat Finder and select more accurately the position of the plate in the horizontal plane.

If the signals are weak or not audible at all, tilt the plate back a little (1 cm) and repeat the search for the signal in the horizontal plane again. Thus, by searching horizontally and raising the dish slightly above the horizon with each pass, you will find the satellite with the strongest signal. After such a signal is found, try moving the plate up or down a little (a centimeter, no more), achieving maximum signal strength. If necessary, reduce the sensitivity of the device for more accurate settings.

Check the approximate direction of the dish to the satellite; it should not differ from that previously found by the compass by more than 5...8 degrees in one direction or another.

Return to the TV. According to the instructions for the receiver, conduct an initial search for channels. Operator – Tricolor, region – Chelyabinsk or Ural. If the dish is configured correctly, you will see a list of many channels. Check if there is Tricolor - Info and Tricolor channels - Promo, TV-TV, TV2-TV among them. These channels should work even without activating the access card.

After all the channels have been found, return to the dish and carefully, so as not to lose the setting, secure all the fastenings of the dish and all the bolts and nuts with keys, controlling the signal strength on the device.

After fixing the antenna and checking the image on the TV, turn off the device and connect the wire from the receiver to the converter on the dish. This completes the setup. From the Tricolor satellite you will be able to watch about ten free channels and about 300 paid ones. Now you should register your equipment with the operator by calling the special number specified in the instructions for the receiver. After registering the equipment, all channels found during setup will become available for viewing.

I think that viewing will be much more pleasant if you consider that the entire budget of our enterprise (with nails and electrical tape) is at the level of 700...800 rubles.

As practice has shown, the Sat Finder device will come in handy more than once. Whether there is a strong wind, or snow and ice, or some kind of reconstruction in the house, you can always go and adjust the moved antenna, both for yourself and for your neighbor.

Yes, just in case, I will give the parameters for the Intelsat 15 85E satellite, for the Telecard. The azimuth is 143 degrees, the elevation angle, that is, the “falling over” of the plate, is the same as that of the Tricolor. The rest of the setup method is exactly the same.

Enjoy watching!

To gain access to a large number of high-quality TV channels, you need to purchase a satellite dish and enter into an agreement with the operator. This article will provide detailed information on purchasing the necessary equipment and how to install Tricolor TV.

The standard equipment set consists of the following components:

Satellite antenna. The material from which the equipment is made is steel. The weight of the equipment is 3 kilograms. The kit also includes parts to secure the antenna.
Satellite receiver. The equipment was manufactured by General Satellite. The receiver supports Full HD video quality. An additional DRE module is also built into the receiver. The receiver performs, provides information about the TV program and has a built-in TV guide.
Converter.
Receiver.
Smart card. This card receives television signals from various channels. The number of TV channels received depends on the tariff plan chosen by the subscriber.
Coaxial cable. Connects directly to the TV.

You can purchase a complete set of equipment for connecting to satellite television from the Tricolor TV company in the online store at shop.tricolor.tv. You can also contact one of the company's dealers. When purchasing from dealers, always check for a certificate, otherwise they may sell you a low-quality product that will not work. The company received good reviews, the Internet of this provider is of decent quality. And in Moscow it is becoming popular

The cost of the equipment depends on the model of the receiver included in the kit. The company offers the following sets for connecting to satellite television:

with GS B532 receiver. The cost of this kit on the company’s official website is - 7990 rubles;
with GS B532M receiver. The cost of the kit is - 10,990 rubles;
with CAM module Cl+. Price 6499 rubles.

You can find out how to connect Tricolor TV to your TV yourself below. However, if you are unable to complete the installation, then you can contact special companies involved in the installation of satellite dishes. The cost of installing Tricolor TV varies in different regions:

for satellite dish GS B532 - from 2000 rubles;
for satellite dish GS B532M - from 2500 rubles;
d For equipment with Cl+ module - from 1500 rubles.

Installing Tricolor is not difficult if you proceed step by step:

Choosing the optimal location for the plate. It is recommended to install it so that it has a free direction towards the satellite, that is, there should not be any objects in this direction. It is also recommended to mount the dish closer to the TV, as this will greatly simplify the setup process. Recommended placements: balcony, walls of the house near the window, roof of the building. Not recommended places: the inside of the balcony, a place where a large amount of natural precipitation will fall on the plate.
Equipment assembly. It is recommended that you first study the assembly instructions that come with the equipment.

first of all, you need to secure the fastenings to the selected location;
Next, the converter is installed. It must be installed so that natural precipitation does not get inside;
Now you need to connect the cable to the converter. Then seal the joint along the entire length using electrical tape or a special tube. You can also apply a layer of silicone sealant;
After connecting the cable, you need to secure the plate to the selected location. The plate must be secured so that it can be moved in different directions.

Installation of the Tricolor antenna is impossible without adjustment:

go to tricolor website. tv and find the azimuth and angle data for the nearest city there. After this, adjust the plate according to the data found. Azimuth, it is recommended to set using a compass;
now you need to connect the cable that goes from the converter to the digital receiver;
After this, the receiver is connected to the TV using a cable.

Setting up TV channels. In order to catch more TV channels, you first need to achieve a high signal level from the satellite. To do this, you need to rotate the plate in different directions until you get the best result. If the signal level does not reach 70%, then try reconnecting the cable to the equipment. Also, the signal may be poor due to weather conditions. For example, in high clouds, during heavy rain or snowfall, the signal level can reach 0%. As soon as you achieve a high signal level, proceed to search for TV channels. To do this, go to the TV menu and select the appropriate “Channel Search” tab. Channels will be found automatically. To get more TV channels, you need to subscribe to a more expensive tariff plan.

If installing the Tricolor TV antenna caused difficulties, you should contact support.

Registration of Tricolor TV is necessary to gain access to television from the operator.

Gaining access is carried out in two stages:

passing registration.
viewing activation.

Register Tricolor TV yourself :

You can register on the official website of the Tricolor TV company.
First, you will need to indicate the ID number that is indicated on the purchased smart card.
Next, indicate the model and serial number of the purchased digital receiver.
In the next section, the subscriber is required to provide personal information: full name, date of birth, series and number of passport, as well as date and place of issue.
Then the address of the equipment installation is indicated.
In the last section you must indicate the subscriber's contact information.

View activation process:

Turn on any channel on your TV.
Wait for the broadcast picture to appear, it will appear later than 8 hours later. In this case, the TV can be turned off, but the receiver must remain on.
After this, viewing activation will be completed successfully.

Not everyone can successfully install Tricolor TV on their own. Therefore, in case of problems, it is better to contact the company for support.

Video “Registration of Tricolor TV”

After purchasing Tricolor TV satellite equipment, the first step is to assemble and install the antenna. The company's employees take care of the connection themselves, but if the subscriber wishes, they can set up Tricolor TV independently.

The quality of the signal received from the satellite depends on the correct location of the antenna. An important condition is direct visibility of the information signal beam from the satellite to the dish. If it is not possible to mount the antenna on the wall next to the window of the apartment where the satellite receiver will be installed, a rational option would be to install the antenna system on the roof of the building. It is prohibited to place the antenna on a balcony or indoors.

Satellite dish assembly

Based on the included instructions, you need to assemble the plate and securely fasten it with suitable fasteners. A television cable is connected to the receiving device located in the holder, which should be secured to the bracket with ties.

An F-connector is screwed onto a 1.5 cm cable stripped of insulation from both ends. Next, you need to connect the receiver to the antenna converter and configure it using the remote control.

Settings

After pressing the “Menu” key, in the section of the main menu displayed on the TV screen, you should go to the “Settings” line, and then to “System settings”. At this point you need to enter the correct time for the region. The desired satellite name will be displayed in the “Satellite” item. In the “Search type” line you need to set Tricolor TV.

Once the satellite is selected, you should confirm the selection by pressing “OK”. If the actions are performed correctly, two scale bars will appear on the screen, characterizing the signal level and its quality. For excellent broadcasting of channels, the parameter values should not be lower than 70%, otherwise the picture quality will deteriorate or the broadcast will be unstable. By changing the angle of the antenna mirror, you need to achieve maximum signal characteristics. It is important to wait a few seconds after each adjustment step. This action is provided so that the signal has time to change.

After successfully installing the dish, it is necessary to securely tighten the fasteners of the antenna structure, otherwise it will move in strong winds. It is also possible that the signal may deteriorate during precipitation. Before exiting the menu, you need to save the settings.

Connecting the receiver

The Tricolor TV receiver is connected in two ways:

high frequency (HF) connection using an antenna cable;
low-frequency (LF) connection using a regular cable with bell or scart ends.

Having selected an RF connection, the receiver’s output (indicated as “RF Out”) must be connected to the antenna socket of the TV. Next, you need to connect the receiver to voltage and turn on the power button. If everything is done correctly, the word “BOOT” will appear on the monitor, as well as the channel number. Now you need to run an automatic channel search to find the channel with the line “No signal”. The presence of this phrase will indicate that the device is connected correctly.

The LF connection uses a cable with “tulips” or “skart”. After the same message appears on the screen, you should set the video mode on the TV remote control with the “A/V” button. The appearance of the message “No signal” indicates that the receiver is connected correctly.

Checking the reception of a satellite signal by the receiver is carried out by displaying any channel on the screen. Its number, time and name of the program that the satellite is currently broadcasting should be displayed. Since the antenna is not aligned, the background image on the screen will appear blue.

After pressing the “i” key, both signal adjustment scales will be displayed on the screen. The plate needs to be adjusted to the maximum. The exact direction of the antenna to the south will help you make precise adjustments yourself. The presence of neighboring antennas nearby facilitates the correct direction of the dish and its tilt.

After the most advantageous antenna position has been found, click “OK” and the Tricolor TV channels will automatically be added to the receiver menu. They need to be preserved.

In order to find free channels, as well as those not included in the package, you need to select “Settings” in the menu, enter the digital code 0000 and go to automatic search.

In this case, the search type should be set to “Network” and the line “Skipping encoded channels” should be highlighted. Next, press the “Search” button. After completing the registration of programs, you need to save the list. If desired, the subscriber can sort channels alphabetically.

Ways to troubleshoot possible setup problems

If there is no signal, the first thing you should do is look at the power supply to the receiver, its connection to the TV, the integrity of the cable, and the tightness of the connectors. It is recommended to press the “AV” button on the TV remote control more than once, since there is more than one input.

If the “Tricolor TV” menu appears on the screen and at the same time the message “No signal” is present, then communication with the satellite is not established. The antenna needs to be adjusted. Another option may be operator-administered prophylaxis.

On any channel, the message “Coded channel” appears, indicating that access has not been paid for or the receiver is not registered. Encoded signals are included in the overall package or broadcast separately. Such channels are considered the property of the provider and therefore require paid decoding.

After completing the setup, when turning on the receiver, the subscriber is prompted to download an update indicating the full list of channels. Newly purchased equipment must be registered with Tricolor TV.

Registration of receiving equipment

After completing the antenna setup, you need to press the “Exit” button twice to exit the menu. On the company's official website you need to fill in the user and receiver data. Equipment installation can be registered by calling the company number listed on the website.

How to set up Tricolor TV yourself

By following the detailed instructions given in the article, you can set up Tricolor TV without anyone’s help. Let's get started!

First, assemble the antenna according to the included instructions. After you have assembled the Tricolor TV antenna, you will need to install it. Select a location for the antenna and firmly secure it there. If you are installing the antenna on the balcony, then drill through the partition and bolt the antenna to it. It is recommended to attach the antenna to the wall using self-wedging anchors.
The mounted antenna must be turned in the direction of the sun at approximately 16-17 hours of the day, while tilting it slightly forward (about 3-5 degrees). There may be obstacles in the path of receiving the satellite signal that will significantly distort or completely suppress signal reception. Such obstacles may include not only trees, fences, walls, etc., but also window glass.
Once the antenna is positioned towards the satellite, secure it to the bracket, but do not tighten it all the way yet. Installing a clamp will provide you with free rotation of the antenna.
Connect the receiver to the converter using a cable. Now you can start setting up.

You need to configure the antenna for the Bonum 1 satellite. To do this, you need to enter the transponder data into the receiver. It will search for a satellite signal for you.

Open "Menu", select "Antenna installation" or "Transponder search".
Enter the transponder parameters (frequency - 12226; polarization - horizontal; flow rate - 27500).
Look at the type of converter (LNB) set in the settings. Correct data: converter type – “Single”, local oscillator frequency – 10750.
Then open the “Signal Level” item (Scan). Using the sector scanning method, a satellite signal is searched. As you get closer to the satellite, the scale should increase. The important thing to remember here is the obstacles mentioned above. Modern tuners usually have two level scales: “level” (signal), showing the IF at the tuner input, the desired satellite signal and various noises; and “quality” - this scale shows the level of the useful signal according to the specified parameters.
The satellite signal is caught if you see the level of the “Quality” scale appearing, according to which the next stage of setup will take place. The “Quality” scale can be in any of the “Menu” items. It can be located both vertically and horizontally. This depends on the brand of your receiver. One thing is certain: if the “LNB power supply” option is disabled, the scale will show a zero value.
Start scanning the second scale from the position in which you installed the antenna. Turn it to the sides by 10-15 degrees. This must be done very slowly because it takes time to process the digital signal. If it is successfully caught, the bottom bar of the “Quality” scale will turn colored. Continue turning the antenna carefully until you get the highest value possible.

If you didn’t succeed in catching a satellite signal the first time, you can change the position of the antenna by raising it up or down. After this, you should repeat the scan from the very beginning.

The article covers the issues of assembling, setting up and adjusting the Tricolor antenna with your own hands.

Having purchased a Tricolor antenna, everyone can configure it independently, subject to certain rules.

Kit for installing Tricolor satellite TV.

To work you will need:

To secure the base, you need to select fasteners. It should be secured to a wooden surface using plumbing caps. In other situations, 10x100 anchor bolts are suitable.

The cable used to connect the antenna and the TV must contain a thick copper core and double braid. The cable length is no more than 100 m. If it is necessary to lay more than this length, then signal amplifiers are additionally located.

Choosing a location to install the antenna

Since the dish receives a signal from the satellite, the main criteria when choosing a location are:

Following the criteria will ensure that errors are avoided when working independently.

Antenna assembly

The equipment comes with assembly instructions, following which you can complete everything quickly. The structure for receiving the signal is formed by the elements:

Assembly diagram:

Assembly work has been completed.

Antenna adjustment

The adjustment should be carried out in good weather (no snowfall, rain, dense clouds). This stage involves creating a certain position of the equipment for broadcast clarity. They depend on the elevation angle and azimuth angle. To calculate the elevation angle, you should draw a horizontal line from the installed dish in the direction of the satellite and measure the angle formed by this line and the signal reception line (the vertical angle formed by turning the mirror up and down).

Azimuth is the angle of the horizontal plane between the direction line to the north and the direction line from the dish to the satellite (the horizontal angle corresponding to the left-right rotation of the dish).

There is a table showing the elevation and azimuth angle for different cities. If the dish is not installed in a city, then you need to focus on a nearby city.

The azimuth angle is set using a compass. To determine the elevation angle, you can use a protractor and a plumb line. The plumb line is located at the zero point of the protractor and serves as a conventional horizon line. The required angle size is indicated on the protractor scale.

Different manufacturers design the antenna at different angles. Supral's products are characterized by the precise vertical position of the antenna at an angle of 26.5°. When placing equipment with such an angle in Moscow or Kaliningrad, there is no need to change the elevation angle. For other cities, it will be necessary to tilt the structure forward or backward so that the angle corresponds to the required value.

Installation of a television connector

The television connector is connected to the converter in accordance with the diagram:

In relation to the antenna wire used, there are two ways to install the receiver to the TV:

High-frequency antenna cable (HF) - plugs into the antenna socket on the TV and into the “RF Out” input hole of the receiver. After turning on, the combination “BOOT” and the channel number appears on the television screen. When you turn on the channel search function, a “No Signal” notification is displayed, which implies normal operation of the receiver.
Low frequency cable with connector (LF) - similar to HF. When connected, “BOOT” appears on the television screen. Afterwards, you need to press the “A/B” button on the receiver’s remote control surface. As a result, the “No Signal” notification should light up. The appearance of other information indicates that the equipment was assembled incorrectly.

After these steps, you can start setting up channels.

Setting the TV signal level

Tuning must be done by changing the position of the antenna and monitoring the signal level on the television screen. First open the “Antenna Installation” menu:

After displaying the two scales “Signal” and “Quality”, the equipment location should be adjusted:

Look at the TV, analyzing the content of the scales:

Preliminary tuning ends with fine tuning when, when changing the position of the plate left-right and up-down, both scales are filled at 80%. Such values will help transmit an accurate signal in bad weather (rain, snowfall, cloudiness).

After fine-tuning the TV display, you should firmly fix the equipment on the street and exit the installation menu by pressing “Exit” twice on the remote control.

Receiver registration

Receiving a television picture occurs after registering the equipment. Registration is carried out in one of the following ways:

On the Tricolor website;
At a sales office or an authorized center (usually after purchase at specialized points of sale, the receiver is registered);
Through the technical support department, when you have a subscription agreement in hand.

When registering, the user must indicate the receiver model, unique identification number (ID), and personal data. You can see the model name on the front panel of the equipment.

The identification number is a sequence of 10-12 digits. The number can be found on the packaging sticker or on the receiver body sticker. Some packages and cases do not have an inscription, so you need to go to the receiver menu. When clicking on the “Status” submenu, the user will see the ID.

To conclude an agreement, it is required to provide the user’s personal data (full name, passport, date of birth, place of installation, contact information).

Registration actions end with confirmation of the equipment over a telephone conversation with the Tricolor service. You must indicate the purpose of the appeal, full name, identification number.
