AUTOMATIC SATELLITE SWITCHING

1. Simply choose your desired channel using the receiver’s remote control. The Trac-King

will automatically switch to the appropriate satellite.

Note: For better performance when using the automatic satellite switching feature, change channels by selecting

your program from the channel guide rather than channel surfing.

It is common for the picture to pixel or display an error message when the antenna is switching between
satellites, or the signal has been temporarily blocked. PLEASE BE PATIENT.
THE PICTURE WILL RETURN.

If an error message appears for an extended period, selecting CANCEL may help clear the message
more quickly.

Note: For

DIRECTV

switching options see page 22.

For

Dish Network - ExpressVu

switching options see page 23.
