1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a KING antenna!
The KING Quest Pro is specically designed to work with the DIRECTV 101 satellite for SD
programming and nationwide distant network local channels found on the 101 satellite. Other local
area channels are broadcast from either the 101 or 119 satellites via spot beam transponders and
have limited availability outside your immediate local area. If your local channels are broadcast from
the 119 satellite, an optional universal controller KING #UC1000 (sold separately - see page 13)
is required which allows the antenna to automatically switch between the 101 and 119 satellites to
receive those channels.
LEGACY RECEIVERS
The KING Quest Pro is compatible with a variety of DIRECTV legacy receivers including Models D10,
D11, D12, H20, H21, H22, H23, H24, HR20, HR21, HR22, HR23 and HR24.
The connection diagram on page 4 shows how to use your KING Quest Pro with the included Power
Inserter to receive programming from satellite 101.
To nd out more about the KING UC1000 controller which allows you to receive programming from
satellite 119 as well as the 101, contact KING or your local dealer.
SWM-ONLY RECEIVERS
SWM-only receivers such as H25 and higher models are only compatible with the 101 satellite and
require additional SWM hardware which is sold separately (see page 6).
NOTE: The KING Quest Pro may be used as a portable satellite antenna or as a roof-mounted antenna (see section 7
for roof installation instructions).
Unbox your KING Quest Pro and verify all components are present.

See the roof installation section later in this manual.

4 OPERATION
Place the antenna unit in a position with a clear view of
the southern sky to scan for the DIRECTV 101 satellite.
IMPORTANT!
Any tall objects can block
the signal from reaching
the antenna.
Place the KING Quest Pro on a stable and reasonably level surface with a clear view of the southern
sky. When placing the KING Quest Pro in position, be sure surface is dry and free of loose dirt or sand.
Make connections 1-3 in the order shown.
IMPORTANT!
Place power inserter in
an accessible location.
Do not overtighten the coax connections.
Do not route the coax cable where it can be tripped on or run over by a vehicle.
Do not put sharp bends or kinks in the coax cable.
Plug in power supply last.
Do not move antenna unit after
plugging in power supply as the
antenna has begun scanning.
IMPORTANT!
When all connections are made, the antenna will scan for the DIRECTV 101 satellite.
When the satellite is found, your programming will appear. Enjoy!
PLEASE BE PATIENT!
The antenna unit may lock onto the satellite in as little as 2 minutes,
but may occasionally take up to 10-15 minutes.
The KING Quest Pro is not programmed to lock onto the 119 satellite, so you will not receive your local channels
if they are broadcast from the 119. If you wish to receive programming from the 119 as well as the 101, you can
replace the power inserter with the KING UC1000 Controller (sold separately - see your dealer or our website
kingconnect.com for details.)
