Step 2 - Run Receiver Check Switch Tests
To configure the
primary receiver
for your selected ExpressVu mode
and automatic satellite switching, you need to run two Check Switch
tests on the receiver. The first Check Switch test finds the correct
satellites; the second configures the receiver for those satellites. To
configure
additional receivers
for your selected mode, you need to
run just one Check Switch test on each (see
).
Primary Receiver - Run Two Check Switch Tests
Follow these steps to run two Check Switch tests on the primary
receiver, which is connected to the “Unstacked Output” jack on the
interface box. This receiver controls satellite selection.
1.
Make sure the vessel is docked in calm water, and
ensure the antenna has an unobstructed view of the sky
so it can “see” all of the desired satellites.
2.
Apply power to the TV and receiver. (If the antenna is
turned off, turn it back on using the interface box power
switch and wait for system startup, until the interface
box shows “TRACKING.”)
3.
Using the receiver’s remote, go to the “Point Dish/
Signal Strength” screen (press MENU, 6, 1, 1).
4.
Choose
Check Switch
, then press SELECT.
5.
Choose
Check
, then press SELECT.
6.
Wait at least 15 minutes, or until the interface box
shows “PLEASE RUN ANOTHER CHECK SWITCH,”
before proceeding to allow the antenna to find all of the
satellites. Disregard any messages that appear on the
TV screen; they do not correctly indicate when the
antenna is ready for the next Check Switch test.
7.
Once you have waited the appropriate amount of time,
choose
Retest
, then press SELECT to run a second
Check Switch test.
If you remove a receiver from the vessel and configure it for a
home setup, you will need to repeat this step to reconfigure that
receiver for a mobile setup whenever you reconnect it to the
TracVision system.
