Incorrect Satellite Configuration
(European Systems Only)
The satellite configuration on European IRDs must match the
satellite settings on the TracVision G4 system.
• Satellite A on the TracVision G4 must be the same
satellite as IRD Alternative 1 (or A, based on your
IRD) and must be assigned the IRD DiSEqC 1
setting.
• Satellite B on the TracVision G4 must be the same
satellite as IRD Alternative 2 (or B, based on your
IRD) and must be assigned the IRD DiSEqC 2
setting.
Refer to your IRD user manual for complete instructions on
configuring your IRD.
Satellite Signal Blocked
Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings, other
vessels, or equipment on the vessel itself. Refer to "Choosing the
Best Location for the TracVision Antenna" on page 12 to make certain
that the TracVision G4 antenna unit is in the optimal location.
Simply moving the vessel to clear an external obstruction will
also restore signal quality.
Satellite Coverage Issue
TracVision G4 will provide outstanding reception within the
18" (45 cm) antenna coverage area for your satellite television
service of choice. However, signal quality can be degraded as you
approach the fringe coverage areas. Refer to your satellite
television service manual to check the viable coverage area for a
18" (45 cm) antenna.
Radar Interference
The energy levels radiated by radar units can overload the
antenna's front-end circuits. Refer to "Choosing the Best Location
for the TracVision Antenna" on page 12 to make certain that the
TracVision G4 antenna unit is in the optimal location with regard
to your radar unit.
