Winegard RM-9946 About Your Receiver, First Time USE, Turned on and Lnbf Coax Properly AT

Automatic System Operation

After parking and leveling vehicle, look for trees, buildings, hills or mountains that might block the satellite signal.

ABOUT YOUR RECEIVER:

If you have a DISH NetworkTM receiver, be sure your system (RM-9946) is set to receive DISH Network satellites. If you have a DIRECTV® receiver, be sure your system (RM-9946) is set to receive DIRECTV satellites. (The majority of pro- gramming for DISH Network is on satellite 119°W; for DIRECTV it is on 101°W.

Contact DIRECTV at 1-800-DIRECTV (1-800-347-3288), DISH Network at 1-800-333-DISH (1-800-333-3474), Cana- dian customers contact ExpressVu at 1-888-SKYDISH (1-888-759-3474) for more information.

FIRST TIME USE:

System is factory preset to find 119°W (DISH Network). For other providers’ satellites, see page 7, Note 2. The first time your system is used, it could take up to 10 minutes for GPS acquisition. (This is also true if you have stored your system for six months or longer, or for vehicles without ignition systems [towables]). This is typical of first time use; do not think there is a malfunction.

1.	Turn TV on and tune to channel 3 or 4 (the output
	of your receiver).
2.	Turn on your satellite receiver. The receiver MUST BE
	TURNED ON and LNBF COAX PROPERLY AT-
	TACHED (refer to your receiver owner manual).
3.	Press the POWER button on the wall plate controller

	for one second. (Pressing CANCEL will stop the
	search at any time during any process.)
4.	The Winegard logo, then Software Rev. 1.XX appear
	briefly on the display.
5.	“Acquiring GPS” appears and remains until the
	system acquires the GPS (Global Positioning
	System) signal.
6.	“Computing look angles” appears. The system is
	comparing GPS data and the satellite selected.
	Dish/Direct 119° W will be displayed; identify the
	satellite related to your receiver.
7.	For first time operation from your location (see
	Note 2, p. 7):

• “Searching for satellite” is displayed. The system is

searching for the satellite and is setting the elevation

for the chosen satellite based on GPS information.

During this process, the message will be replaced by

“Determining satellite location.”

• The system will begin finding the available satellites

while the message “Determining satellite location.” is

displayed. During this process, you may see a picture

or signal from the desired satellite, but the system will

move on to other satellites, “remembering” their

location. Your signal disappears during this process.

• After your system has locked on the satellite of your

choice, the display will read “Enjoy the show.”

8. If you want to change to a different satellite,

wait for message displayed as “Pick a sat < >”. Use

LEFT or RIGHT buttons to scroll through the list of

available satellites for your receiver. After you find the

desired satellite, press ENTER.

•“Moving to (select satellite)” will be displayed while the system moves to that satellite. “Current Sat” with the selected satellite will appear on the display when locked on that satellite.

9.If you have NOT MOVED from your loca- tion, and want to watch the same satel- lite and dish is stowed:

•Press POWER. “Press ENTER to select last satellite” will be displayed after GPS is acquired. Press ENTER to move the system back to the last satellite viewed. You do not have to perform the

search function.
