Internet Access
In North America, your TracVision S3 can receive high-speed
Internet data when used in conjunction with KVH’s TracNet
™
Mobile Internet Server. With TracNet, you get full broadband
Internet access on the road via DirecPC
exclusively from KVH.
In Europe, satellite Internet access is still not widely available,
although some Internet services have been established in limited
regions. If one of these providers offers Internet coverage in your
particular area, contact that service directly for more information.

Watching Television
Turn on the TracVision S3 after your vehicle is parked. Once the
startup procedure is complete and the antenna is locked onto
your selected satellite, it is not necessary for the TracVision S3 to
be turned on. You may turn off the TracVision S3 unit to avoid
unnecessary use of power. Because the LNB receives its power
from the IRD, the antenna will continue to receive the satellite TV
signals and relay them to the IRD.
However, if you plan to change to a channel that is broadcast by
another satellite, TracVision S3 must be turned on so the antenna
can search for, identify, and lock onto the different satellite.

vehicle is in motion.
