3.5.2 Switching Between DISH 500 Satellites

Once the system is configured for DISH 500 mode, you can easily
switch between the 119 and 110 satellites. Simply press the SAT
SELECT button to switch from one to the other.
IMPORTANT!
Switch between satellites only while the
vehicle is stationary or, if your system is a TracVision LF, while
you are driving in a straight line. If you try to switch satellites
while the vehicle is turning, the antenna may lock onto the
wrong satellite. If this occurs, you will need to reset the system to
the factory default (as described in the next section) then reconfigure
the system for DISH 500 mode (as described in the previous section).

3.5.3 Resetting the System to Factory Default

To reset the system to the factory default, in which the antenna
searches for a different satellite whenever the SAT SELECT
button is pressed, follow the steps below.
1. Turn off the TracVision system.
2. Press and hold the SAT SELECT button while
turning on the TracVision system.
3. Continue holding the SAT SELECT button for
five seconds, until the Status indicator flashes
quickly five times. When you release the SAT
SELECT button, the antenna starts up in the
factory default mode.
