      If your KVH Industries Receiver displays 'Please Call Ext. 722', this indicates that the receiver may have lost its activation data. To resolve this, call DIRECTV customer service at 1-800-DIRECTV (347-3288). Ensure that the antenna is actively tracking the satellite when you make the call.

      Make sure the power switch on the front of the KVH Industries mobile receiver/controller is turned on (the VOLTAGE light should be green). Also, ensure your TV is turned on and set to the correct satellite input. Check all connecting cables to confirm they are securely attached.
