SATELLITE SYSTEMS (Optional)
The self-contained stationary, automatic satellite TV system automatically acquires and
tracks DirecTV®, DISH Network™ and Bell ExpressVu satellite signals throughout the
continental United States when the motorhome is in a stationary position. Satellite service
requires subscription.
NOTE:
The satellite is a self-acquiring satellite TV antenna for use when the
motorhome is stationary. The system is not designed to track the TV satellite
when the motorhome is in motion.
NOTE:
For specific satellite coverage areas and providers see the OEM manual.
The Internal Receiver Descrambler (IRD) receives satellite signals from the antenna for
decoding, processing, and channel selection, and then sends those signals to the TV for viewing.
The IRD also provides the interface for the user to activate authorization for reception.
INFORMATION:
Refer to the IRD User’s Manual for complete operating instructions.
The satellite system requires a clear view of the southern sky to
receive satellite signals. Ideal antenna site has an unobstructed view of
15º to 75º in the Southern horizon.
If the satellite antenna receives intermittent signals, or cannot locate
the satellite, check around the motorhome for objects that could be
blocking the signal, such as trees, building, etc. The satellite antenna
must be located in the selected satellite’s coverage area in order to
receive a signal.
NOTE:
The satellite receiver must be turned on for the system to
function.
NOTE:
As part of the startup process, the System will default to channel 200, a program directory.
This is the system’s means of verifying that it has identified and is tracking the correct
satellite. Once channel 200 appears, wait at least another 30 seconds before changing the
channel to ensure that the system has completed the startup routine.
For Dish 500 subscribers:
After being locked onto a satellite Dish 500 subscribers can switch back and forth between the 110 and 119
satellites.
To switch satellites:
Press and hold the three-position switch for one second. UP will switch to 119, DOWN will switch to 110.
