3. Press the switchplate's POWER button to apply
power to the TracVision LF/SF system and wait
for the system to fully initialize. Data should be

2.6 Configuring TracVision LF/SF for
Remote Satellite Dish Operation
In some campground locations, dense foliage will block the
satellite signal. In these situations, a remote portable antenna
may be the only solution to satellite signal reception.
The wiring option for the remote dish is very simple and
should be installed when the TracVision LF/SF is installed.
A high-quality "A/B switch" should be used to change from
TracVision to remote antenna operation. The recommended
wiring arrangement for remote dish operation is illustrated in
Figure 2-12.
