BACK OF VEHICLE

DIRECTV® receivers must be set to the two satellite, oval dish setting. Refer to your receiver manual.

DISH Network receivers must either have the check switch set for SW42 or unknown, no satellite found. See page 5.

The satellite system has two modes of operation; Tracking Mode and Sleep Mode. When you first turn the unit on it enters Tracking Mode. In this mode the unit will search and actively follow the satellite as the vehicle travels. Tracking Mode ends when the unit has successfully finished its search and the vehicle has not moved for six minutes.

Sleep Mode, this is the unit at rest mode. During Sleep mode the dish will toggle between primary and sec- ondary satellites as you change channels with the remote. The unit enters Sleep mode about six minutes after a successful search if stationary, or six minutes after the vehicle stops moving.

The antenna is also easy to install, often requiring minimal tools and effort, which enhances its appeal to users who prefer a hassle-free setup.

Another significant characteristic of the MV-4002 is its portability. Weighing just a few pounds, this antenna can be easily mounted and dismounted as needed. Its sleek finish and low profile minimize wind resistance, further enhancing its suitability for mobile applications.

In summary, the Winegard MV-4002 is a high-performing mobile antenna that combines efficient signal reception with ease of use and portability. Its capability to receive VHF and UHF signals, advanced amplification technology, and robust design make it an excellent choice for anyone seeking reliable television access away from home.
