KVH R6 (Optional):
The KVH R6 satellite system includes an
antenna (dish), a control box and receiver pre-
wiring. The system does not include satellite
receiver(s).
NOTE:
Satellite service requires subscription
activation. Contact your service
provider to activate the account.
NOTE:
For specific satellite coverage areas
and providers refer to the OEM
manual.
Turning On the Antenna:
1. Turn on the KVH satellite system.
Press the power button on the KVH
control box
2. Turn on the satellite receiver (not
supplied).
3. Wait 30 to 60 seconds for the antenna
to acquire the satellite signal.
4. Turn on the TV and press the Input
button on the top of the TV until the
Satellite screen displays.
5. It takes approximately one minute for
the receiver to download guide data.
Channels can be selected once the
guide is downloaded.
Monthly Maintenance:
Periodically clean the dome with water
and mild soap (if necessary) to maintain
reception performance. Dirt buildup can
affect satellite TV reception.
Do not
spray the dome with high-
pressure water.
Do not
apply abrasive cleaners or
volatile solvents, such as acetone, to the
ABS dome.
Do not paint the dome.
CAUTION:
If a need arises to paint the radome,
use only non-metallic automotive
paint without a primer coat to avoid
degrading the RF signal strength.
Metallic paint impairs satellite signals.
TIP:
For optimum signal strength, keep
the dome clean from dirt, bugs and
other debris. Periodic washing of
the dome with mild soap and water
is recommended. If the motorhome
is 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.
Technical Support:
For assistance in operation or for
technical support, call KVH Technical
Support at 1-401-847-3327.
