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

The RoadTripSD and SDi will toggle between the primary and secondary satellites for either DISH Network or DIRECTV. Both have programming on more than one satelite. When a channel is se- lected on the remote control and is not on the satellite currently selected, the unit will automati- cally toggle to the correct satellite.

Note: The RoadTripSDi will toggle while sta- tionary or In-motion.

DIRECTV programming

1.DIRECTV receivers must be set for oval dish 2 sat selection to enable toggling between primary 101°W satellite and alternate 119°W satellite only. (Consult receiver manual for procedure.) After receiver is set for the correct dish selection, when you request a channel located on a differ- ent satellite, the unit will automatically toggle to that satellite.

DISH Network programming (DISH 500)

DISH Network receivers must have the “SW42” switch installed in order to toggle between the pri- mary 119° satellite and the alternate 110° satellite. (Consult your receiver manual for the procedure to reach the “check switch” menu.)

NOTE: This “SW42 Switch” is a DISH Network® receiver setting, NOT a physical part.

To install the “SW42” switch:

1.Before turning on your RoadTripsystem, make sure that your satellite receiver and television are turned on and your receiver is on the “point dish” menu. (Consult your owner’s manual to reach this menu.)

2.While the vehicle is stationary, turn on the

RoadTripsystem and wait for signal acquisition on satellite 119°.

3a. RoadTripSD. Wait for unit to acquire signal on 119°. Proceed to Step 4.

SW42 switch cannot be installed while ! RoadTripMode. SDi is in Tracking

structions on running the test. Be sure that Superdish and Alternate are unchecked if appli- cable. Onscreen options may vary by receiver.

5.During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will begin checking the switch by toggling between satellites. When this is completed, SW42 will ap- pear on the screen. It will be at the top of the screen, satellite designations will be below, show- ing odd and even transponders. See illustration.

If a switch other than SW42 appears, or you have an X in one of the boxes below the satel- lites, repeat Check Switch Steps.

6.Your system is now set up to toggle between satellites. It will automatically move to the correct satellite when a channel is selected with your re- mote control.

NOTE: Once these steps are completed, you won’t have to perform this test again, unless Check Switch was performed on another satel- lite dish, such as a home dish.
