Incorrect Satellite Configuration
(European Systems Only)
The satellite configuration on European receivers must match the
satellite settings on the TracVision G8 system.
•
Satellite A on the TracVision G8 must be the same satellite
as receiver Alternative 1 (or A, based on your receiver)
and must be assigned the receiver DiSEqC 1 setting.
•
Satellite B on the TracVision G8 must be the same satellite
as receiver Alternative 2 (or B, based on your receiver)
and must be assigned the receiver DiSEqC 2 setting.
Refer to your receiver’s user manual for complete instructions on
configuring your receiver.
Satellite Signal Blocked
Satellite signals can be blocked or degraded by buildings, other
vessels, or equipment on the vessel itself. Refer to “Choosing the
Best Location for the TracVision Antenna” on page 23 to make certain
that the TracVision G8 antenna unit is in the optimal location.
Simply moving the vessel to clear an external obstruction will
also restore signal quality.
Satellite Coverage Issue
TracVision G8 will provide outstanding reception within the
32" (82 cm) antenna coverage area for your satellite television
service of choice. However, signal quality can be degraded as you
approach the fringe coverage areas. Refer to your satellite
television service manual to check the viable coverage area for a
32" (82 cm) antenna.
Radar Interference
The energy levels radiated by radar units can overload the
antenna’s front-end circuits. Refer to “Choosing the Best Location
for the TracVision Antenna” on page 23 to make certain that the
TracVision G8 antenna unit is in the optimal location with regard
to your radar unit.
