No Satellite Found
If the system will not find a satellite, perform ALL off the following:
1. Is the receiver is plugged in and turned on?
2. Do you have the correct location entered (city, elevation or longitude/
latitude)?
3. Is the correct search satellite entered? Echostar or DSS should appear
behind "Search" on display.
4. Verify that your RV/coach is reasonably level. If the mount is sitting at too
much of an angle, the system may be looking too high or too low in the sky to
see the satellite.
5. Check that there is no obstructions blocking the view of the satellites. The
signal from the satellite(s) WILL NOT pass through trees, buildings, mountains
etc. Remember that the antenna has a 24
0 offset, this means that when the
antenna is straight up and down (90 0 ) it is looking 24 0 into the sky. See
Figure 1.
