2.7 Completing the Installation
Process
If the system has initialized properly and is functioning,
replace the radome on the baseplate (labels on the sides),
securing it with the 8 pan head screws and flat washers
removed at the start of the installation process.
As noted previously, while DIRECTV offers on-screen
messages, it is recommended that a PC be available for all
installations of both DIRECTV and DISH Network (EchoStar).
This will permit the installer to record the TracVision Cruiser
startup sequence to verify that the unit is functioning within
specified parameters. Baseline startup parameters (with optimal
ranges) have been provided in
Appendix E
.

A Guide to TracVision Cruiser
If a need does arise to paint the
radome,
only use non-metallic
paint
to avoid degrading the RF
signal strength and the reception
quality.
