TracVision LF is designed to operate whether your vehicle is in

motion or parked. TracVision SF is designed to operate only

while your vehicle is parked.

Using Your TracVision LF/SF When Parked

When your vehicle is stopped, it is not necessary for the

TracVision LF/SF to be turned on. After parking your vehicle and

confirming that the antenna is receiving the satellite signal, you

may turn off the TracVision LF/SF unit to avoid unnecessary use

of power. The antenna will continue to receive the satellite TV

signals and relay them to the IRD.

"Instant On" Operation

As part of its operation, TracVision LF/SF routinely saves the

satellite position to memory and retains it when the system is

turned off. When TracVision LF/SF is powered up, the system

looks at the satellite's last saved position. If the vehicle has not

changed its location, the antenna will immediately acquire the

satellite and receive the signal without initializing the antenna.

If the vehicle moves after the TracVision LF/SF is turned off, the

antenna unit will quickly carry out its normal initialization

routine to reacquire the satellite when next powered on.
