Using Your Tracvision Lf/Sf; Turning On The System - KVH Industries LF Owner's Manual

3 Using Your
TracVision LF/SF
For TracVision LF/SF to receive the satellite signals, the antenna
must have a clear line of sight to the satellite. If you only receive
intermittent signals or the antenna cannot find the satellite, check
around your vehicle for any objects that could be blocking the
signal, such as trees, buildings, highway overpasses, etc.
You must also be located within the selected satellite's coverage
area in order to receive its signal. Refer to your satellite television
service manual to check the viable coverage area. For your
convenience, KVH provides links to several web sites that offer satellite
coverage information. Simply go to our web site at:
