Kingdome In-Motion Satellite System (Optional)
The Kingdome system will automatically track
the satellite during travel. If the motorhome is
parked the control panel can be turned off to
conserve battery power after the system has
obtained the signal. To turn the control panel off
simultaneously press the
Enter
and – buttons.
NOTE:
Satellite service requires subscription
activation. Contact your service
provider to activate the account.
NOTE:
For specific satellite coverage areas and
providers see the OEM manual.
To Use the In-Motion System:
Press the
On
button on the satellite
control panel located in the passenger
overhead cabinet. The dish will
automatically acquire the signal from the
satellite.
Ensure the access card is inserted and
press the
Power
button on the satellite
receiver. The green LED on the receiver
will illuminate.
NOTE:
HD (High Definition) ready receivers
are included with the In-Motion
Satellite System. Channel availability
will vary with satellite system and
providers. Consult the OEM manual
for providers, coverage areas and
channel availability.
NOTE:
Inclement weather conditions may
adversely affect the satellite signal
acquisition. Degraded audio and video
signals through the receiver will result.
Maintenance:
The system requires the following preventive
maintenance for optimum performance.
Monthly:
Wash the exterior of the radome and
base plate assembly with fresh water; a
mild detergent may be added to remove
grime.
DO NOT
spray the radome
directly with high-pressure water.
DO NOT
apply abrasive cleaners or
volatile solvents, such as acetone, to the
ABS dome.
Annually:
Have the satellite system inspected by
a professional RV technician or satellite
installer.
Apply full strength liquid dish detergent
to the dome surface and allow it to dry.
This treatment provides a
fi
lm on the
dome surface that will allow moisture to
bead up and roll off.
NOTE:
If a need arises to paint the radome,
ONLY use non-metallic automotive
paint to avoid degrading signal strength
and reception quality.
INFORMATION:
Refer to the complete warranty
statement provided with the OEM
Manual for information on warranty,
repair, and/or liability policies.
NOTE:
For optimum signal strength, keep
the dome clean from dirt, bugs and
other debris. Periodic washing of the
dome using mild soap and water is
recommended. If the motorhome is
to be stored for long periods of time,
it is recommended that the system be
put through a search procedure on a
quarterly basis to keep all moving parts
in good working order.
