Tracking the Correct Satellite

If your system is connected to an IRD's low-speed data port,
follow the steps in Section 3.2.1, "Using the IRD for Satellite
Selection." If your system is not connected to an IRD's low-speed
data port, follow the steps in
for Satellite Selection."

3.2.1 Using the IRD for Satellite Selection

If your TracVision L2 is connected to an IRD's low-speed data
port, the antenna will automatically find and track the correct
satellite based on the information it receives from the IRD. No
user interaction is required.
3.2.2 Using the Switchplate for Satellite
Selection
If your system is not connected to an IRD's low-speed data port,
you will need to use the switchplate to manually find your
satellite.
1. Press the switchplate's SAT SELECT button.
2. The Status indicator flashes while the antenna
searches for a satellite signal. Once the antenna
finds and starts tracking a satellite, the Status
indicator stops flashing.
3. If your TV shows a clear picture, you are tracking
the correct satellite. If no picture appears, repeat
this procedure starting with Step 1.

The Status Indicator

If your system is not connected to an IRD's low-speed data port,
the switchplate's Status LED indicates the antenna's current
condition. Table 3-1 describes this LED's four conditions.
