Automatic satellite switching is now active.  The antenna will switch to the appropriate
satellite based on the channel you select using the receiver’s remote control.  Enjoy!

Normal Operating Mode), follow steps 1-4 on page 10.  Make sure the “x” lights up when Mode 01 is displayed.
You will not have to rerun the check switch when re-entering automatic mode after re-acquiring the satellites
(see gray box on page 10 for exceptions).

DO NOT DISCONNECTTHE COAX.

When test is complete, a screen similar to one below should appear.
