Run Two Check Switch Tests

18
If you set up the system for DISH Network or
ExpressVu, follow these steps to run the
receiver's Check Switch test twice. The first
Check Switch test finds the satellites; the second
test configures the receiver for those satellites.
IMPORTANT!
This procedure must be performed while the
vessel is docked in calm water.
NOTE: If you are connecting multiple receivers,
repeat this process for each additional receiver. You
will need to connect each receiver, one at a time, to the
"RF1" cable and perform the steps below. Then, once
you have completed this process for each receiver, you
can reconnect them as desired.
a. Dock the vessel and ensure the antenna has
an unobstructed view of the sky.
b. Ensure the receiver is connected to the "RF1"
cable (see Figure 23 on page 13 (circular/Sky
Mexico) or Figure 24 on page 14 (linear)).
c. Apply power to the TV and receiver. (If the
antenna is turned off, turn it back on and wait
until the ADCU indicates "Tracking.")
d. Using the receiver remote, go to the "Point
Dish/Signal Strength" screen (press MENU,
6, 1, 1 on most models).
e. Choose Check Switch, then press SELECT.
f. Choose Test, then press SELECT.
g. Wait at least 15 minutes before proceeding to
allow the antenna to find all of the satellites.
Disregard any messages on the TV; they do
not correctly indicate when the antenna is
ready for the next Check Switch test.
h. After waiting 15 minutes, repeat Steps d-f to
run a second Check Switch test.
i. Refer to the tables in Figure 42 to verify the
values displayed on your TV match those
required for your selected service. If your
values do not match, turn off the antenna,
then turn it back on and repeat Steps d-h.
j. Exit the menu and allow the receiver to
download the program guide.
