A Guide to TracVision R5/R4 2.8 If a need arises to paint the radome, ONLY use non-metallic automotive paint to avoid degrading the RF signal strength and the reception quality. Configuring TracVision R5/R4 for Remote Satellite Dish Operation In some campground locations, dense foliage will block the satellite signal. In these situations, a remote portable antenna may be the only solution to satellite signal reception.
Installation 2.9 Changing Geographic Location If you move from Europe to the U.S., or from the U.S. to Europe, you will need to modify your TracVision R5/R4 system to receive satellite TV signals in the new geographic area. To begin receiving satellite signals in the new area, perform the following steps. Swap LNBs To receive the proper satellite signals in the new geographic location, your TracVision antenna must be equipped with the appropriate LNB for that location. If moving from Europe to the U.S.
Using Your TracVision R5/R4 3 Using Your TracVision R5/R4 For TracVision R5/R4 to receive the satellite signals, the antenna must have a clear line of sight to the satellite. If you only receive intermittent signals or the antenna cannot find the satellite, check around your vehicle for any objects that could be blocking the signal, such as trees, buildings, highway overpasses, etc.
A Guide to TracVision R5/R4 Figure 3-2 Turning on the TracVision R5/R4 Using the Switchplate Antenna On/Off Switch 3. Turn on the antenna using the switchplate, as pictured in Figure 3-2. 4.

Using Your TracVision R5/R4 3.2.3 Using a PC to Switch Between Satellites If you’re unable to switch between satellites using the receiver remote control, you can use a PC connected to the switchplate’s maintenance port to select between Satellite A and Satellite B. The procedure requires a PC with Windows HyperTerminal or download the KVH Flash Update Wizard (available for free at www.kvh.com/wizard). To switch satellites using a PC, perform the following steps: 1.
A Guide to TracVision R5/R4 3. Type @L,X and press Enter once the data connection is made. X = A or B (whichever satellite you want to track) Key: To select Satellite A, type @L,A and press Enter. To select Satellite B, type @L,B and press Enter. 4. The antenna unit shifts to track the second satellite. 3.3 Watching Television TracVision R5 is designed to operate whether your vehicle is in motion or parked. TracVision R4 is designed to operate only while your vehicle is parked.
Using Your TracVision R5/R4 Sleep Mode (TracVision R5 only) When the vehicle has come to a stop and the antenna holds its position for 1 minute, the antenna unit enters Sleep Mode, which turns off the conical scan tracking, reducing any motor noise the antenna may be making. As soon as the vehicle moves, Sleep Mode will automatically be turned off and the system will begin tracking the satellite again.
A Guide to TracVision R5/R4 If the satellite signal is lost while the system is in conical scan track mode, the control software imposes a 45-second time-out delay. If the signal is not regained during that time, the antenna reverts to the set of Search Modes to start looking for the satellite signal. This is an automatic process that does not require user intervention. 3.
Using Your TracVision R5/R4 8. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes for the Check Switch function to complete and for the antenna to restart and configure itself for DISH 500 mode. If the Check Switch function fails (the receiver locks up), disconnect power from the receiver, restart the antenna, then restore power to the receiver and try the Check Switch function again. 9. Run the Check Switch function a second time. This allows the receiver to configure itself for automatic satellite switching. 10.
