Troubleshooting

PROBLEM SOLUTION

The MV3500T does not attempt to find a satellite or it never moves.

1.Check your Power switch to verify that it is in the ON position.

2.Check +12 V wires at unit to verify power. Check fuse on electronics.

The dish never stops on any of the signals that it sees.

1. Make sure that your receiver is set up correctly.

For DISH Network, the check switch should read either “Un- known” or “SW42”.

For DirecTV the receiver should be set for a Two Satellite Oval

Dish.

With DIRECTV, the dish will find the alternate satellite but it never finds the primary satellite.

Make sure that the Switches on the Electronics Control Box are set for DirecTV. See page 3. These switches are found under the dome, inside the Electronics Control Box.

I am not getting all the DISH Network channels I subscribed to.

1.Go to the check switch menu in receiver. Make sure that it’s

set for SW42 and lists both even and odd transponders on satel- lites 110° and 119°.

The MV3500T never sees any signals, it just keeps searching.

1.Rain, Snow or excessive Dew on the dome can interrupt the signal. Snow and Dew can be brushed off the dome. If Heavy rain or Snow fall is blocking the signal, it may be necessary to wait until the weather clears.

2.Check to see if the Southern sky is clear. Trees, Buildings, Large signs or an Overpass can block the signal. Find an area where you can be sure that this is not the problem and try again.

3.Make sure the receiver has power and the satellite dish is connected to the “Sat In”.

I have switched satellite service providers. How do I set my dish for my new provider?

You will need to remove the dome, and set switches to correct provider. See page 4.
