4.1.8 Incorrect or Loose RF Connectors

As part of preventive maintenance (as described in Section 5,
"Maintenance" on page 5-1), KVH recommends checking the
antenna unit cable connections. A loose RF connector can reduce
signal quality. In addition, if you are unable to switch to the other
programmed satellite, make sure that you have connected your
RF signal cable to the antenna baseplate connector labeled "RF1"
(see Section 2.3.5, "Connecting the Antenna RF Signal Cable to the
Receiver" on page 2-12).
4.1.9 Type of Multiswitch Used
(North American Systems Only)
An active multiswitch must always be used to connect the
TracVision R5/R4 system to more than two receivers. Refer to
Section 2.3.5.2, "Connecting Three or More Receivers" on page 2-13
for directions on proper multiswitch/multiple receiver cabling.

4.1.10 Stationary Use Only (TracVision R4 only)

The TracVision R4 antenna was designed for stationary use only.
As such, the antenna will track the desired satellite while your
vehicle is parked, but not while the vehicle is in motion.

Receiver Troubleshooting

The receiver that was provided with your satellite television
service may also be the cause of less-than-ideal operation.

4.2.1 Receiver Wiring

Refer to Section 2.3.5, "Connecting the Antenna RF Signal Cable to
the Receiver," on page 2-12, and your receiver's User's Manual to
confirm that the receiver is properly connected to the antenna
unit and the television.

4.2.2 Receiver Faulty

In the case of a faulty receiver, refer to your receiver's User's
Manual for service, replacement, and warranty information.
