Operation
Your new MV-2222/1111 features:
• GPS technology
• Fast signal acquisition times
• Easy “one-button” operation
• Ability to toggle between satellites using
remote control, if subscribing to multi-
satellite programming
NOTE: For Model MV-1111 vehicle must be parked.
1. Turn on receiver and television set. This unit
will not operate unless receiver is on. Be sure
your TV is turned to channel 3 or 4.
2. Turn your +12VDC tracking power switch to
ON position.
3. Allow up to 3 minutes for signal location. Sat-
ellite signal acquisition will occur with normal
operating conditions. For Model MV-2222, signal
acquisition time is faster if the vehicle is going in a
straight line, or stopped.
NOTE: Acquisition time will be longer if the ve-
hicle has traveled more than 600 miles without the
unit in use. If you have traveled this distance
without using the unit, signal acquisition may
take up to five minutes.
4. If you do not have a signal after three minutes, be
sure there are no obstacles preventing signal acquisition.
(Trees, hill, buildings or other structures can block the
signal.) Move to an open area so your system can “see”
the satellite signal.
5. Signal interruption occurs while traveling when the
line of site to the satellite is blocked. This corrects itself
when blockage is cleared. The amount of time it takes
your TV picture to recover will be dependent on the re-
ceiver model.
6. If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting, p. 10.
* If vehicle does not move for 6 minutes or more, the
MV-2222 will go to SLEEP MODE. It will remain on the
last selected satellite. Moving vehicle will cancel SLEEP
MODE and unit will resume tracking mode.
• Low maintenance
• Compatible with continental U.S. digital satel
lite receivers
• Winegard warranty
• MV-2222 features precision gyroscopes
To operate your system —
To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—
MV-2222 and MV-1111 will toggle between two dif-
ferent satellites. DIRECTV and DISH Network have
programming on more than one satellite.
When a channel is selected on the remote control and
it is not located on the satellite currently in use, the
system on the vehicle will automatically move to the
new satellite. (When using multiple receivers, toggling
is controled by the primary receiver.)
IMPORTANT! Model MV-2222 will not toggle while
vehicle is moving. Toggling can only occur after vehicle
is stopped for six minutes and unit is in sleep mode.
DIRECTV programming
1. There is NO SETUP required for DIRECTV. When
you request a channel located on a different satellite,
the unit will automatically move to that satellite.
DISH Network programming (DISH 500)
NOTE: Once these steps have been completed, you
will not need to perform this test again, unless
check switch was performed on another satellite
dish such as a home dish.
1. Wait for unit to acquire the satellite signal on
satellite 119.
2. After signal has been acquired, 6 minutes remain to
complete Check Switch test; this 6 minutes will expire
with unit on or off. Consult yDISH Network receiver
manual to perform Check Switch test.
3. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will begin
checking your switch by toggling between transponders.
When this is completed, SW42 will appear on the screen. It
will be at the top of the screen, satellite designations will be
below, showing odd and even transponders. See illustration.
NOTE: If a switch other than SW42 appears, or you have
an X in one the of the boxes below the satellites, repeat
Check Switch steps.
5. Your system is now set up to toggle between
satellites. It will automatically move to the correct
satellite when channel is selected.
