2.7 Testing the System
Now all you need to do is turn the system on and ensure
everything works properly. Follow the steps below to test the
TracVision system.
1. Park the vehicle in a blockage-free area. The
antenna requires an unobstructed view of the
southern sky to receive satellite signals.
2. Turn on the receiver(s) and TV(s). For instructions
on operating the receiver, refer to the receiver’s
owner’s manual.
3. Turn on the TracVision antenna.
4. Within a few minutes, a picture should appear on
the TV.
5. (TracVision R5 only) Take a road test and verify that
the antenna tracks the satellite while the vehicle is
moving.
6. When you have finished testing, shut down the
system.
