Operation RoadTrip SD (VEHICLE MUST BE STATIONARY!!)

1.

Turn on receiver and television set. 

The

RoadTrip

 must be connected to a receiver that

is plugged into 120 VAC.
2. Verify that you are getting the receiver’s

 menu

screens on the television. These screens are avail-
able with or without the dish finding the signal.

3. Turn the power switch on for the RoadTrip

.

The dish will detect if it is already on a satellite sig-
nal. If it detects a signal, the dish will move to check
it’s alternate satellite and then move back to the
original satellite signal that is on.
4. If no signal was detected, the dish will begin its
search to locate the primary satellite. Once the dish
locates a signal, it will pause long enough to iden-
tify which satellite it has located. This may or may
not be visible on your receiver’s point dish screen.

5.

After the unit has verified that it has the correct

satellite, it will move to check the alternate satellite
and move back to the primary satellite to complete
the search routine.

6.

 

If you do not have signal,

 see 

Troubleshooting

,

p.7.

NOTE: Because the RoadTrip

™ 

uses information

from the last location that it was on a signal, sat-
ellite acquisition may take longer if the dish is
inactive over long distance traveling.

DirecTV

®

 must be set to the “two” satellite, oval

dish setting. Refer to your receiver manual.

DISH Network

®

 receivers must have the check

switch set to “SW42”. See page 6.
