OPERATION

IMPORTANT:  There must be a clear “line of sight” to the southern sky.  Mountains, buildings, trees,

telephone poles, etc. can all block the satellite signal from reaching the dish.

The distance driven since last performing a search may affect how long it takes the 
VuQube to find the satellite.

Satellite TV and receiver technology are constantly changing.  If you experience difficulty 
go to www.kingcontrols.com or contact the King Controls Service Department at 
(800) 982-9920.
