To Watch the Satellite:
• Turn on the TV and tuner (if TV has a separate tuner).
• Using the TV remote, Universal remote or manual TV controls select the VIDEO display
for Satellite Video. Ensure the display is on the TV screen.
• Ensure the Satellite Receiver is on.
• Ensure the Satellite Remote panel is on.
NOTE:
As part of the startup process, the TracVision SF System will default to channel 200, a
program directory. This is the system's means of verifying that it has identified and is
tracking the correct satellite. Once channel 200 appears, wait at least another 30 sec-
onds before changing the channel to ensure that the system has completed the startup
routine.
System Start-up:
• Upon power-up, the system performs a set of start-up routines.
• Antenna then searches for a TV satellite.
• After locating a satellite, the IRD data connection determines whether the satellite signal
can be decoded. If so, the antenna locks onto and tracks the satellite.
NOTE:
Once the startup procedure is complete and the antenna is locked onto the correct
satellite, the TracVision SF power switch may be turned off to avoid unnecessary dis-
charge of house battery power. Because the antenna LNB receives its power from the
IRD, the antenna will continue to receive the satellite TV signals and relay them to the
IRD.
NOTE:
If the antenna is unable to locate the desired satellite, refer to Section 4
"Troubleshooting" of the TracVision SF User's Manual for possible causes and correc-
tive actions.
"Instant On" Operation
As part of operation, the TracVision SF routinely saves the satellite position to memory. When
TracVision SF is powered up, the system looks at the last saved position. If the motorhome has not
changed location, the antenna will immediately acquire the signal.
If the motorhome moves after the TracVision SF is turned off, the antenna will quickly carry out
normal initialization routine to re-acquire the satellite. To turn off the TracVision SF system, press the
POWER button.
NOTE:
It is highly recommended that the TracVision SF be turned OFF prior to moving the
motorhome. TracVision SF will not track a satellite while the motorhome is in motion.
