Park your vehicle. Then restart your vehicle and follow the startup steps
described on the reverse side of this guide.
Wait 1 minute, then check the status lights on the top of the receiver
(the receiver connected directly to the antenna, if you have more than one).
If all three lights are lit solid green, skip to 2.
VOLTAGE light is OFF:
• Ensure the main power switch (D) on the receiver’s rear panel is turned ON.
The switch will illuminate green when flipped to the ON position.
• Check the 12 VDC power to the receiver and check the in-line fuse.

buildings, trees, overpasses, and
mountains.
• Check the antenna dome for grime, which can
affect reception. Heavy rain or moisture on the
dome can also weaken satellite TV signals.
