3.3 Turning Off the System
To turn off the TracVision L2 system, simply press the
switchplate’s POWER button (see
Figure 3-2 ).
3.4 Watching Television
TracVision L2 is designed to operate as efficiently and as reliably
as possible whether your vehicle is in motion or parked.
Using Your TracVision L2 When Parked
When your vehicle is stopped, it is not necessary for the
TracVision L2 to be turned on. After parking your vehicle and
confirming that the antenna is receiving the satellite signal, you
may turn off the TracVision L2 unit to avoid unnecessary use of
power. The antenna will continue to receive the satellite TV
signals and relay them to the IRD.
DISH 500 Subscribers
The DISH 500 service offers programming on two different
satellites. As a result, if you change to a channel that is located on
the other satellite, you will need to use the switchplate’s SAT
SELECT switch to select the second satellite. Further, if you then
need to switch back to the first satellite, you will need to use the
SAT SELECT switch again until the first satellite is reacquired.
Please be patient during this process; due to the satellites’
spacing, it may take some time to return to the original satellite.
Cable Unwrap
The Antenna Unit can rotate a full 720° before coming to the end
of its cable. If it does so, the system automatically unwraps the
cable by quickly rotating the dish in the opposite direction.
During this process, your television transmission will be frozen
momentarily while the cable unwraps and the antenna reacquires
the satellite.
