KVH recommends that you periodically check the system's cable
connections. A loose RF connector can reduce signal quality or prevent
automatic satellite switching using the receiver's remote control. Refer
to the TracVision M5/M7 Installation Guide for complete system
wiring information, or visit any KVH-authorized dealer or distributor
for assistance. To find a KVH-authorized dealer near you, visit
www.kvh.com/wheretogetservice.
If your TracVision system's configuration requires a multiswitch, an
active (powered) multiswitch must be used to ensure proper antenna
performance. Refer to the M5 Wiring Diagrams in Appendix C
on page 97 or the M7 Wiring Diagrams in Appendix D on page 101 for
detailed information.
If your vessel makes several consecutive circles in the same direction,
the antenna will rotate 720° before reaching the end of its internal
cable. If this occurs, the system will automatically unwrap the cable by
quickly rotating the antenna dish in the opposite direction. During this
time, your TV picture will freeze momentarily.
