Step 2 - Run Receiver Check Switch Tests
To configure the primary receiver for your selected DISH Network
mode and automatic satellite switching, you need to run two Check
Switch tests on the receiver. The first Check Switch test finds the
correct satellites; the second configures the receiver for those satellites.
To configure additional receivers for your selected mode, you need to
run just one Check Switch test on each (see
IMPORTANT!
If you remove a receiver from the RV and use it in a home setup,
you will need to repeat this step to reconfigure that receiver
whenever you reconnect it to the TracVision system.
Primary Receiver - Run Two Check Switch Tests
Follow these steps to run two Check Switch tests on the primary
receiver, which is connected to the "Unstacked Output" jack on the
interface box. This receiver controls satellite selection.
1. Park the vehicle in a blockage-free area. Ensure the
antenna has an unobstructed view of the sky so it can
"see" all of the desired satellites.
2. Apply power to the TV and receiver. (If the antenna is
turned off, turn it back on using the interface box power
switch and wait for system startup, until the interface
box shows "Tracking.")
3. Using the receiver's remote, go to the "Point Dish/
Signal Strength" screen (press MENU, 6, 1, 1).
4. Choose Check Switch, then press SELECT.
5. Choose Test, then press SELECT.
6. Wait at least 15 minutes before proceeding to allow the
antenna to find all of the satellites. Disregard any
messages that appear on the TV screen; they do not
correctly indicate when the antenna is ready for the
next Check Switch test.
7. After you have waited 15 minutes, repeat Steps 4-6 to
run a second Check Switch test.
8. Refer to the tables in
the values displayed on your TV match those required
for your selected satellite TV service.
If your values match: Exit the menu and allow the receiver to
download the program guide.
If your values do not match: Reset the system (follow the
process on
starting with Step 1 on
