If you set up the system for DISH Network, 
follow these steps to run the receiver’s Check 
Switch test as required. 

Primary Receiver - 2 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 will control satellite selection. 

a.

Park the vehicle in a blockage-free area. 

Ensure the antenna has an unobstructed view 

of the sky.

b.

Apply power to the TV and receiver. (If the 

antenna is turned off, turn it back on and wait 

a few minutes for startup.)

c.

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

Dish/Signal Strength” screen (press MENU, 

6, 1, 1 on most models).

d.

Choose 

Check Switch

, then press SELECT.

e.

Choose 

Test

, then press SELECT. 

f.

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 on the TV; they do not correctly 

indicate when the antenna is ready for the 

next Check Switch test.

g.

Once you have waited the proper amount of 

time, choose 

Test

, then press SELECT to run 

a second Check Switch test.

h.

Refer to the tables in Figure 22 and verify the 

values displayed on your TV match those 

required for your selected mode. 

If your values match

, exit the menu. The 

receiver will download the program guide.

If your values do not match

, follow the steps 

on the next page to reset the system before 

retrying this procedure.

If you purchased a 

preconfigured

 DISH 

receiver from KVH, you only need to run 

one

 

Check Switch test to set up the system.

IMPORTANT!
