STEP C: CHECK SWITCH TEST
Before running the check switch test, you must put the VuQube in the proper mode.
Mode 01: Normal operating mode (use without automatic satellite switching)
Mode A2: Automatic dual satellite switching
Mode A3: Automatic tri-satellite switching
SET SWITCHING MODE
1. Press the MODE button.
2. Scroll through the three options with the UP and DOWN arrows.
The large “X” shape on the right of the display will light
up to indicate which mode is active.
3. Select 01 for: Normal operating mode (use without automatic satellite switching)
Select A2 for: DISH SD
Bell SD and HD
Select A3 for: DISH SD and HD
DISH SD and HD Alternate
IMPORTANT! BEFORE RUNNING THE CHECK SWITCH TEST, YOU MUST FIRST LOCK ON AND STORE THE
DESIRED SATELLITE LOCATIONS TO MEMORY IN THE CORRECT ORDER AS SHOWN IN
STEP B, AND THEN PROGRAM THE VUQUBE FOR THE PROPER SWITCHING MODE AS
SHOWN BELOW.
NOTE: For automatic satellite switching, King Controls recommends using a DISH model 311 receiver for DISH SD,
and a DISH model ViP211z, ViP211k, ViP211 or 411 receiver for DISH SD and HD. Do not use dual tuner
receivers or receivers with built-in recorders.
If you do not have a clear view of the satellites, the switch will not load correctly.
The SW21 and SW64 switches are a software conguration (not a physical switch) that is loaded into your
receiver after running a check switch test with the antenna locked on and congured for the appropriate
service.
This one time test will not need to be repeated after successful installation, unless
a) check switch test is run again while connected to a home dish system,
b) check switch test is run when your receiver is not connected,
c) you travel outside the coverage area of your chosen satellite trio and switch trios (DISH SD and HD and
DISH SD and HD Alternate),
d) you are parked in an area where the selected satellites are blocked, but are able to select alternate
satellites and get signal.
Example: Mode 01 is active
