Installing ANT3900 with a
Non-antenna Input Multi-switch
Note:
Some satellite dishes have integrated multi-switches.
The “TO RECEIVER” terminals are connected to the cables
coming from the bottom of the dish. Treat these cables as
the “TO RECEIVER” terminals
of the multi-switch.
Note:
For DISH NETWORK owners: Some Dish Network
installations use two smaller SW21 multi-switches. Treat
these as one multi-switch with two “OUTPUT” or “TO
RECEIVER” terminals.
1. Turn off and unplug all satellite receivers.
2. The ANT3900 will only work with a maximum of two
satellite receivers in this application. Before proceeding
with the installation, determine which two receivers
you would like to attach to the ANT3900. If you need
to connect to more than two satellite receivers, RCA
ANT3901 might be an alternative solution.
3. Unsnap the antenna from the back notch of the mounting
clamp (see Fig 3 on page 6).
4. Hold the antenna to the back of the dish so that the
circular housing is centered with the RCA logo facing
out (see Fig 2 on page 5).
5. Maneuver the clamps over or around the edge
of the dish one at a time (see Fig 4 on page 6).
6. Tighten the mounting clamp by turning the thumb-wheel
screw clockwise and re-snap antenna on to back notch.
7. Disconnect the two (2) satellite cables from the OUTPUT
(or TO RECEIVER) terminals on your multi-switch. Make
sure that these cables are connected to the receivers that
you selected in Step 2 above.
8. Connect the two (2) satellite cables to the OUT1 and OUT2
terminals on the ANT3900 antenna (see Fig 17 on page 13).
9. Using the supplied black 32” antenna cables, connect the
IN1 and IN2 terminals of the ANT3900 to the OUTPUT
(or TO RECEIVER) terminals on your multi-switch (see
Fig 18 on page 13).
10. Continue to “Step B: Installing the Inside Diplexers”
(page 8) and follow the remainder of the standard
installation procedure.
Step C: Setting up your TV to
use the ANT3900
1. Access the menu of your TV and make sure the TV is in
ANT/AIR mode and not CABLE/CATV mode. Please refer
to your TV manual for the exact steps to change this option.
2. Access the menu of your TV and run the “Auto Program”
option. Please refer to your TV manual for the exact steps
to change this option.
3. Set your TV to your favorite channel.
4. To fine tune local channel reception, rotate the ANT3900
antenna around the perimeter of the dish until you receive
the best possible picture. Tighten the clips so that the
antenna is firmly secured to the satellite dish in that position.
5. The ANT3900 is now ready to receive local programming.
Note:
Satellite receiver should be off to view local channels.
