To operate your system —

NOTE: For Model MV-1111 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 tracking power switch to ON position.

3.Allow up to 3 minutes for signal location. Sat- ellite signal acquisition will occur with normal operating conditions. For Model MV-2222, signal acquisition time is faster if the vehicle is going in a straight line, or stopped.

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.

5.Signal interruption occurs while traveling when the line of site to the satellite is blocked. This corrects itself when blockage is cleared. The amount of time it takes your TV picture to recover will be dependent on the re- ceiver model.

6.If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting, p. 10.

*If vehicle does not move for 6 minutes or more, the MV-2222 will go to SLEEP MODE. It will remain on the last selected satellite. Moving vehicle will cancel SLEEP MODE and unit will resume tracking mode.

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

MV-2222 and MV-1111 will toggle between two dif- ferent satellites. 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 currently in use, the system on the vehicle will automatically move to the new satellite. (When using multiple receivers, toggling is controled by the primary receiver.)

IMPORTANT! Model MV-2222will not toggle while vehicle is moving. Toggling can only occur after vehicle is stopped for six minutes and unit is in sleep mode.

DIRECTV programming

1.There is NO SETUP required for DIRECTV. 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 satellite 119.

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 yDISH 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 screen, satellite designations will be below, showing odd and even transponders. See illustration.

NOTE: If a switch other than SW42 appears, or you have an X in one the of the boxes below the satellites, repeat Check Switch steps.

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

FAQ

How do I operate my MV-2222/1111 system?

To operate your MV-2222, simply turn on the receiver and TV, and allow up to 3 minutes for signal location. For the MV-1111, ensure the vehicle is parked before turning on the system.

How do I troubleshoot signal acquisition issues?

If you do not have a signal after 3 minutes, ensure there are no obstacles blocking the signal. Signal interruption while traveling will correct itself when blockage is cleared.

How does the system toggle between satellites?

The MV-2222 and MV-1111 will toggle between different satellites, such as DIRECTV and DISH Network, when a channel is selected on the remote control that is not located on the satellite currently in use.
