4. Press the switchplate's SAT SELECT button for
1 second. When you release the button, the Status
indicator starts flashing while the antenna searches
for another satellite.
5. When the switchplate's Status indicator fully
illuminates again, check the signal strength meter.
If the meter turns green and indicates "Locked–
Echostar 119," proceed to step 6. If the meter stays
red, repeat step 4.
6. Press and hold the SAT SELECT button until the
Status indicator flashes quickly five times
(approximately 5 seconds).

3.5.2 Switching Between DISH 500 Satellites

Once the system is configured for DISH 500 mode, you can easily
switch between the 119 and 110 satellites. Simply press the SAT
SELECT button to switch from one to the other.
IMPORTANT!
Switch between satellites only while the
vehicle is stationary or, if your system is a TracVision LF, while
you are driving in a straight line. If you try to switch satellites
while the vehicle is turning, the antenna may lock onto the
wrong satellite. If this occurs, you will need to reset the system to
the factory default (as described in the next section) then reconfigure
the system for DISH 500 mode (as described in the previous section).

3.5.3 Resetting the System to Factory Default

To reset the system to the factory default, in which the antenna
searches for a different satellite whenever the SAT SELECT
button is pressed, follow the steps below.
1. Turn off the TracVision system.
2. Press and hold the SAT SELECT button as you
turn on the TracVision system.
3. Continue holding down the SAT SELECT button
until the Status indicator flashes quickly five times
(approximately 5 seconds). When you release the
SAT SELECT button, the antenna starts up in the
factory default mode.
54-0194 Addendum to Rev. D
If you turn off the TracVision
system, move the vehicle, then turn
the system back on, the antenna
may not be able to find the correct
satellite upon startup. In this case,
you will need to reset the system to
the factory default and then
reconfigure the system for
DISH 500 mode.
