Emergency Manual Stow
Emergency manual stow is meant as a last resort and is not meant for common usage!
Unplug the TRAV’LER interface. Then, remove the black plastic bolt from the back of the mount. Insert a 3/8th socket
extension into this auxiliary drive. Turn the auxiliary drive clockwise to lower the unit. Do not use a drill!
The TRAV’LER antenna is not meant for use while traveling.
To stow the unit when you are ready to travel, press [POWER] one time.
The unit will stop what it is doing and return to the stowed position.
The TRAV’LER interface will not turn off unless the TRAV’LER mount is
successfully stowed. Visually inspect that the antenna is in the stowed/
travel position before traveling.
Do not move the vehicle until the TRAV’LER antenna is stowed.

Do not move the vehicle until you are able to stow the unit. See Ready to Travel? above.
Other Notes
Weather and vehicle location can impact the ability of the TRAV’LER antenna to locate all of the required satellites.
Obstructions such as buildings or tree limbs can block the satellite signals and prevent the TRAV’LER antenna from
successfully locating all of the satellites for Multi-Sat Mode. Make sure you have a clear view of the southern sky.
Receivers Compatible with SWM Technology
Winegard mobile satellite TV antennas operate with Multi-switch technology and require separate accessories to
operate with DIRECTV Single Wire Multi-switch (SWM) only technology receivers.
For an up-to-date list of DIRECTV DVR and non-DVR receiver models that are only compatible with SWM technology,
visit www.winegard.com/directv. This website also lists Winegard mobile satellite TV antennas that are compatible
with DIRECTV.
If unsure of your receiver model, check the back of the receiver or the inside front door of the smart card slot.
If you have a SWM only technology receiver, Winegard Model SWM-840 SWM kit is available. This SWM kit will allow
for proper SWM technology operation with Winegard mobile satellite TV antennas.
