Using the TV/SAT Switch
The TV/SAT Switch is very easy to use. All operations are
controlled through a single button.
To select the second satellite, perform the following steps:
1. Press the Select button on the TV/SAT Switch.
2. The indicator for the current satellite (Sat A or
Sat B) extinguishes, while the indicator for the
other satellite starts blinking.
3. Once the indicator for the other satellite turns
solid green, the TracVision system is tracking the
newly selected satellite. You can now use your
receiver to choose a channel on the new satellite.

3.2.2 DISH 500 Mode

DISH Network customers will need to configure the TracVision
R5/R4 system to use DISH 500 mode, which allows automatic
switching between the 119 and 110 satellites, or manually switch
satellites using the optional TV/SAT Switch (see Section 3.2.1,
"Using the TV/SAT Switch" on page 3-4).
Configuring the Antenna for DISH 500 Mode
To configure the TracVision antenna for DISH 500 mode, you will
need to run the receiver's Check Switch function twice. You do
not need a laptop computer.
To configure the TracVision antenna for DISH 500 mode, follow
the steps below.
1. Park your vehicle in a blockage-free area and do
not move the vehicle until you have completed the
entire configuration process.
2. Turn on the master receiver (the receiver that is
connected to the antenna's RF1 connector) and the
television.
3. Turn on the TracVision antenna using the
switchplate's power switch.
4. Wait one minute for the antenna to initialize.
5. Using the receiver's remote control, go to the
"Point Dish/Signal Strength" screen (press Menu,
