OPERATION
Press the "Satellite" Button (after initial setup.)
THAT IS ALL THERE IS!!!
Important!! The Freedom Controller's DIP switches must be preset (at installation time) for the
satellite service (satellite that you wish to find) before use. See System setup.
SINGLE SATELLITE MODE
Once your RV is parked and stabilized, press the "Satellite" button on the Freedom
Controller. The Freedom Antenna on the roof of your RV will begin to search for the
configured satellite. This typically takes 2 to 3 minutes. During this search the "Active
LED" on the Freedom Controller will blink indicating that the dish is moving and finding
satellite. When the configured satellite is found the "Active LED" will go out and the
Freedom Controller will shut off. You can now watch TV.
Simply repeat the above instruction every time you move to a new RV site. Just press
the "Satellite" button and let the system find your satellite programming.
DUAL SATELLITE MODE
The Freedom is capable of switching between two satellites for either Dish Network or
Bell ExpressVu when configured properly.
Once your RV is parked and stabilized, press the "Satellite" button on the Freedom
Controller. The Freedom Antenna on the Roof of the RV will begin to search for the
Primary Satellite. This typically takes 2 to 3 minutes. During this search the Active LED
on the Freedom Controller will blink. When the configured satellite is found the Active
LED will go out and the Freedom Controller will shut off. You can now watch TV on the
selected satellite. If you want to switch between satellites, i.e. see below, then simply
press the Satellite Button again (when on satellite) and the Freedom Controller will begin
a search for the Secondary Satellite. This typically takes 1 to 2 minutes. During this
search the Active LED on the Freedom Controller will blink. When the Secondary
Satellite is found the Active LED will go out and the Freedom Controller will shut off.
You are now on the second satellite for the Dish Network or Bell ExpressVu
Configuration.
Satellite Type
DIRECTV
Dish Network
Bell ExpressVu
IMPORTANT!
Some Dish Network and Bell ExpressVu receivers are not capable of obtaining the
Program Guide to the secondary satellite without repowering your satellite receiver. If you have one of
these receivers, it is recommended that you connect your satellite receiver to a switched AC Power Strip to
assist you with this process.
You can now switch between the Primary and Secondary satellite by pressing the Satellite
Button (when on satellite.) The move time between satellites is typically 1 to 2 minutes.
To return to previous satellite, simply repeat the above instructions.
Note: In the Dual Satellite Mode if the system does not detect a satellite when the "Satellite"
button is pressed it will search and find the Primary satellite. This will be the case when you
move your RV to a new site.
