System Operation
BEFORE parking and leveling vehicle, look for trees,
buildings, hills or mountains that might block the satellite
signal and result in poor signal reception.
ABOUT YOUR RECEIVER (The unit is factory preset
to find 119°W (DISH Network):
If you have a DISH Network
TM
receiver, be sure your unit
(AS-2003) is set to receive DISH Network satellites. If
you have a DIRECTV
®
receiver, be sure your unit
(AS-2003) is set to receive DIRECTV satellites. (The
majority of programming for DISH Network is on satellite
119°W; for DIRECTV, it is on 101°W.)
AS-2003 is factory preset to find 119°W (DISH
Network). You can contact DISH Network at 1-800-333-
DISH (1-800-333-3474) for programming information.
Contact DIRECTV at 1-800-DIRECTV (1-800-347-3288),
or ExpressVu (Canada and Northeast U.S.) at
1-888-SKY-DISH (1-888-759-3474).
IMPORTANT! If you are using more than one receiver,
the primary (the “bright white” coax connection) is the
only receiver that will toggle between satellites.

FIRST TIME USE:
The unit is factory preset to find 119°W (DISH Net-
work). For DIRECTV, you must change the preset
switches on the outside unit. See Step 8 in Installation,
page 14.The first time your unit is used, allow 10 minutes
for GPS acquisition. (This is also true if you have stored
your unit for six months or longer. This is typical of first
time use; do not think there is a malfunction.
1. Turn TV on and tune to channel 3 or 4 (the output
of your receiver).
2. Turn on your primary receiver. The receiver MUST
BE TURNED ON and LNBF COAX PROPERLY
ATTACHED (refer to your receiver owner manual). If
not properly connected, all LEDs will be on.
3. To search for satellite, see Power On and Satellite
Search procedures, AS-2003 Control Panel
Operation instructions, page 7.
4. After search routine is completed and primary
receiver is at 119 (DISH Network), the unit may
switch between the primary and alternate satellite. A
Check Switch must be performed for toggling
capabilities on DISH Network. See Check Switch
instructions, page 8.
5. After the primary satellite signal is found and Check
Switch completed, the unit may be powered off. To
switch satellites, turn power back on and switch
satellites. The unit can then be turned off. The satel
lite signal last selected will still be “seen” by the dish
when the unit is turned on again.
6. To park your unit, see Parking procedures, AS-2003
Control Panel Operation instructions, on page 7.
