Your new Winegard RV Digital Satellite System is an easy-to-install, easy-to- use satellite TV reception system. Because it mounts on the top of your recreational vehicle, it goes where you go and provides quality reception of digital satellite signal in the continental United States only.

NOTE: All commands will be shown in bold with brackets, example [SELECT A].

One requirement must be met to fully enjoy automatic system TV viewing. The RV must be reasonably level. Any of the leveling indicators available should be adequate for this purpose. If the RV is not leveled, the system may not find the high power satellites.

After the RV has been leveled, proceed as follows:

There are three ways to find the satellite(s). Using the city menu to find the closest city, entering the elevation angle for your location or entering the latitude and longitude for your location. Each is explained in the following paragraphs.
