Improper Wiring

If the system has been improperly wired, the antenna will not operate correctly.

Loose Cable Connectors

We recommend periodically checking the antenna unit’s cable connections. A

loose cable connector can reduce signal quality or prevent automatic satellite
switching using the receiver’s remote control. Fasten the cable connector.
