Operation (Vehicle MUST be stationary!!)
1.
Turn on receiver and television set.
The MV-3500
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 MV-3500.
The dish should start moving, making one or two
revolutions before it stops to acquire GPS. This can
take a few moments or up to 10 minutes. Normal
operation will be less than a minute.
4. Once the unit has acquired GPS, the dish will
begin its search.
a. The dish will pause on the signal long enough to
determine which satellite it has found.
b. If it moves off the signal , it is in an effort to verify
the signal and it should return to the signal shortly.
5.
After the unit has verified that it has the correct
satellite, it will move to check the alternate satellite
before it completes the search routine.
