3. Apply power to the TracVision G8 system and allow the

system to complete full initialization. Data should be
scrolling on the PC display to identify any system
problems detected. If no data appears, recheck your
connections and setup.

4. After completing the review of the startup and operational

routines, turn on the receiver and television and check the
channels on the selected satellites. For linear quad LNB
systems, check both horizontally and vertically polarized
channels, if possible.

5. When all checks are completed, shut down the system.

Checking the Calibration Score

Once the vessel is moving, the TracVision G8’s internal sensor
calibrates itself automatically to compensate for minor magnetic
distortions. Since a well-calibrated sensor is important to
maintain system performance, the “calibration score” should be
checked the first time the vessel is underway. See “Viewing the
Calibration Score” on page 79
for details.

A sample startup sequence has
been provided in Appendix C on
page 127

with the typical ranges

and responses for the
TracVision G8 during startup and
operation.
