Operation RoadTripTMSD (VEHICLE MUST BE STATIONARY!!)

1.Turn on receiver and television set. The

RoadTripmust 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 RoadTrip. The dish will detect if it is already on a satellite sig- nal. If it detects a signal, the dish will move to check it’s alternate satellite and then move back to the original satellite signal that is on.

4.If no signal was detected, the dish will begin its search to locate the primary satellite. Once the dish locates a signal, it will pause long enough to iden- tify which satellite it has located. This may or may not be visible on your receiver’s point dish screen.

5.After the unit has verified that it has the correct satellite, it will move to check the alternate satellite and move back to the primary satellite to complete the search routine.

6.If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting, p.7.

NOTE: Because the RoadTripuses information from the last location that it was on a signal, sat- ellite acquisition may take longer if the dish is inactive over long distance traveling.

DirecTV® must be set to the “two” satellite, oval dish setting. Refer to your receiver manual.

DISH Network® receivers must have the check switch set to “SW42”. See page 6.
