To operate your system —

Vehicle must be parked.

1.Turn on receiver and television set. This unit will not operate unless receiver is on. Be sure your TV is turned to channel 3 or 4.

2.Turn your +12VDC power switch to ON posi- tion.

3.Allow up to 3 minutes for signal location. Sat- ellite signal acquisition will occur with normal operating conditions.

NOTE: Acquisition time will be longer if the ve- hicle has traveled more than 600 miles without the unit in use. If you have traveled this distance without using the unit, signal acquisition may take up to five minutes.

4.If you do not have a signal after three minutes, be sure there are no obstacles preventing signal acquisition. (Trees, hill, buildings or other structures can block the signal.) Move to an open area so your system can “see” the satellite signal.

To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—

The MV-0500 will toggle between two different satellites. 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 auto- matically move to the new satellite.

DIRECTV programming

1.There is NO SETUP required for DIRECTV. When you request a channel located on a differ- ent satellite, the unit will automatically move to that satellite.

DISH Network programming

NOTE: This must be a DISH 500 system. These steps must be done each time the receiver loses 110 VAC power.

1.Let unit acquire the satellite signal on satellite 119.

2.After signal has been acquired, press the MENU key on the remote control or receiver.

3.Go into the SYSTEM SETUP menu.

4.Go into the INSTALLATION menu.

5.Go into the MULTI-DISH installation.

6.Scroll down to the CHECK SWITCH button and select.

7.The receiver will verify that you want to perform a “Check switch.” Select CHECK.

8.The receiver will begin checking your switch by tog- gling between transponders. When this is completed, a message stating “satellite reception is verified” will show. When it does, select OKAY. If this message does not ap- pear, repeat steps 1 - 7.

9.Your system is now set up to toggle between satellites. It will automatically move to correct satellite when chan- nel is selected.
