2.When the unit has finished the park routine, the SEARCH LED will automatically go off, leaving only the ON and PARK LEDs still on. This indicates the unit is properly parked and can be turned off. Before traveling, be sure the unit is in parked position. To be sure, step outside and visually inspect before leaving your location.

NOTE: If the unit is raised and you want to put in park position, the satellite receiver must be on and supplying voltage to the LNBF.

SATELLITE SYSTEM

Performing Check Switch routine to enable satellite toggle function used with multi-satellite programming

AS-2003 will toggle between different satellites for the program provider you have. Both DIRECTV and DISH Network have programming on more than one satellite.

When a channel is selected on the remote control and it is not located on the satellite the unit is currently on, the system on the vehicle will automatically move to the new satellite. (When using multiple receivers, toggling is controlled by the primary receiver. The primary receiver is connected to the dish with the white coax; sec- ondary receiver if used, connects with the almond coax).

DIRECTV programming

1.There is some SETUP required for DIRECTV. You must select “Oval Dish 2 Satellites” in the receiver menu. To change this, see Owner’s Manual for DIRECTV receiver. When you request a channel located on a different satellite, the unit will automatically move to that satellite.

DISH Network programming (DISH 500)

NOTE: Once these steps have been completed, you will not need to perform this test again, unless check switch was performed on another satellite dish such as a home dish.

1.	Wait for unit to acquire the satellite signal on

2.	After signal has been acquired, 6 minutes remain to
	complete Check Switch test; this 6 minutes will
	expire with unit on or off. Consult DISH Network
	receiver manual to perform Check Switch test.
3.	During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will
	begin checking your switch by toggling between
	transponders. When this is completed, SW42 will
	appear on the screen. It will be at the top of the

4.If you still have an error, your vehicle may be parked so satellites are on either side of the automatic stop on the roof unit. The dish is unable to locate the second satellite because it is forced to complete almost a full revolution because of the stop. (See illustration.) You can go outside and watch the dish to see if this is happening.

The solution is to move your vehicle to a different angle so the satellites are not located on either side of the stop in the outside unit.

5.Your system is now set up to toggle between satellites. It will automatically move to the correct satellite when channel is selected.
