If you set up the TracVision M9 system for DISH 

Network or Bell TV service, follow the steps 

below to run the receiver’s Check Switch test 

twice.

NOTE: 

If you are connecting multiple receivers, 

repeat this process for each additional receiver. 
Connect each receiver, one at a time, to the RF1 cable 
and perform the steps below. Then, once you have 
completed this process for each receiver, you can 
reconnect them as desired.

a.

Dock the vessel in a blockage-free area in 

calm water.

b.

Ensure the receiver you wish to configure is 

connected to the TracVision system’s RF1 

cable.

c.

Turn on the TV and receiver.

d.

Apply power to the TracVision system then 

wait two minutes for system startup. 

e.

Using the receiver’s remote, go to the “point 

Dish/Signal Strength” screen (press MENU, 

6, 1, 1 on most models).

f.

Choose Check Switch, then press SELECT.

g.

Choose Test, then press SELECT.

h.

Wait at least 15 minutes before proceeding.

i.

After waiting 15 minutes, repeat Steps e 

through g to run a second Check Switch test.

j.

Verify the values on your TV match those 

required for your satellite service and 

configuration. Refer to the figures at right for 

details. If your values do not match, turn off 

the antenna, then turn it back on and repeat 

Steps d through g.

k.

Exit the menu and allow the receiver to 

download the program guide.

Please be patient. The Check Switch test takes 

approximately 15 minutes to complete. 

Disregard any messages on the TV stating the 

test is complete; the antenna must perform 

additional operations before proceeding.

IMPORTANT!

Run Two Check Switch Tests
