IMPORTANT! BEFORE RUNNING THE CHECK SWITCH, YOU MUST FIRST LOCK ON AND STORE THE

DESIRED SATELLITE LOCATIONS TO MEMORY IN THE CORRECT ORDER AS SHOWN IN

STEP 3, AND THEN PROGRAM THE VUQUBE FOR THE PROPER SWITCHING MODE AS

SHOWN BELOW.

Note: For automatic satellite switching, King Controls recommends using a Dish Network model 311 receiver for Dish

500, and a Dish Network model VIP211 or a VIP211k HDTV receiver for Dish HD. Do not use dual tuner

receivers or receivers with built-in recorders.

If you do not have a clear view of the satellites, the switch will not load correctly.

The SW21 and SW64 switches are a software configuration (not a physical switch) that is loaded into the

receiver after running a check switch test with the antenna locked on and configured for the appropriate service.

This one time procedure will not need to be repeated after successful installation, unless

a) check switch test is run again while connected to a home dish system,

b) check switch is run when the receiver is not connected,

c) you travel outside the coverage area of your chosen satellite trio and switch trios (Dish HD Western Arc

with Locals and Dish HD Alternate with Locals),

d) you are parked in an area where the selected satellites are blocked, but are able to select alternate

satellites and get signal.

Before running the check switch, you must put the VuQube in the proper mode.

Mode 01: Normal operating mode (use without automatic satellite switching)

Mode A2: Automatic dual satellite switching

Mode A3: Automatic tri-satellite switching
