SECTION 5 STATIONARY OPERATION
Note: If you are using the automatic satellite switching feature, you must leave the King-Dome on.
IMPORTANT: There must be a clear “line of sight” to the southern sky. Mountains, buildings, trees,
telephone poles, etc. can all block the satellite signal from reaching the dish.
The distance driven since last performing a search may affect how long it takes for the
King-Dome to find the satellite.
Satellite TV and receiver technology are constantly changing. If you experience difficulty
go to www.kingcontrols.com or contact the King Controls Service Department at
(800) 982-9920, ext. 373.
