MOUNTING
DirecTV® receivers must be set to the two satellite, oval dish setting. Refer to your receiver manual.
DISH Network receivers must either have the check switch set for SW42 or unknown, no satellite found. See
page 5 in Operation Manual.
The satellite system has two modes of operation; Tracking Mode and Sleep Mode. When you first turn the unit
on, it enters Tracking Mode. In this mode the unit will search and actively follow the satellite as the vehicle travels. Tracking mode ends when the unit has successfully finished its search and the vehicle has not moved for
six minutes.
Sleep Mode, this is the unit at rest mode. During Sleep mode the dish will toggle between primary and secondary satellites as you change channels with the remote. The unit enters Sleep mode about six minutes after a
successful search if stationary, or six minutes after the vehicle stops moving.
