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 satellites 110° and 119°.

The MV3500A 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 con- nected to the “Sat In”.
