Operation
be sure there are no obstacles preventing signal acquisi-
tion. (Trees, hill, buildings or other structures can block the
signal.) Move to an open area so your system can ìseeî
the satellite signal.
1. Turn on receiver and television set. Unit will not
operate unless receiver is on. Be sure your TV is
turned to channel 3 or 4.
2. Turn +12VDC tracking power switch to ON.
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. 5.
* If vehicle does not move for 6 minutes or more,
3. Allow up to 3 minutes for signal location. Satel-
lite signal acquisition will occur with normal operating
conditions. The signal acquisition time is faster if the
vehicle is going in a straight line, or is stopped.
NOTE: Acquisition time will be longer if vehicle has
traveled more than 600 miles or it has been 6 months
without the unit in use. If you have traveled this dis-
tance or 6 months has passed without using the
MV-0022 will go to SLEEP MODE. It will remain on the
unit, signal acquisition may take up to 10 minutes. last selected satellite. Moving vehicle will cancel SLEEP
MODE and unit will resume tracking mode.
4. If you do not have a signal after three minutes,
Expected operation of MV-0099—
Fine-Tuning Period: After signal is acquired, the unit
will continue to track the satellite signal while the vehicle
is moving. If the signal was locked on while the vehicle
was stationary, or the vehicle stops moving, the system
will continuously fine-tune for approximately 8 minutes. If
the vehicle begins moving during this 8 minute period, the
system will resume tracking mode.
enter sleep mode. To toggle between the primary and
alternate satellites when in sleep mode, use the remote
control. Moving the vehicle will cancel sleep mode and
start tracking mode.
Recovery From Signal Interruption: While traveling,
the signal will be interrupted when the line of sight to
the satellite is blocked. Signal is acquired again after line
of sight is restored. If signal is interrupted for more than
15 seconds, the system automatically enters the search
routine. The length of time for the TV picture to re-
cover depends on the receiver model you are using.
If the vehicle has not begun moving by the end of this 8
minute period, MV-0099 will move to peak on the alter-
nate satellite, then move back to peak on the primary
satellite. This will take 5-20 seconds, depending on the
receiver model and software. At this point, the system will
To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—
MV-0099 will toggle between satellites. DIRECTV and DISH
Network have programming on more than one satellite.
2. After signal is acquired, the system will continuously
fine-tune for 8 minutes. At the end of 8 minutes, it will
enter sleep mode. You have 6 minutes to complete
Check Switch test. Consult DISH receiver manual.
3. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will be-
gin checking your switch by toggling between satellites.
When this is completed, SW42 will appear on the
screen. It will be at the top of the screen, satellite des-
ignations will be below, showing odd and even
transponders. See illustration.
When a channel is selected on the remote control and is
not on the satellite currently selected, the unit will auto-
matically move to the correct satellite.
DIRECTV programming
1. DIRECTV receivers must be set for oval dish 2 sat se-
lection to enable toggling between primary 101∞W satellite
and alternate 119∞W satellite. (Consult receiver manual for
procedure.) After receiver is set for the correct dish selec-
tion, when you request a channel located on a different
satellite, the unit will automatically move to that satellite.
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.
DISH Network programming (DISH 500)
If this is the first time the receiver has been used,
you may need to download receiver software; best
done on a home dish.
NOTE: Once these steps are completed, you wonít
need to perform this test again, unless Check Switch
was performed on another satellite dish, such as a
home dish. .

Troubleshooting
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SIGNAL:
6. To check voltage at connections, see Figure 9
on page 10. FOLLOW THE NUMERICAL SE-
QUENCE ON THE DRAWING AND CHECK
VOLTAGE AT:
1. The signal may be blocked by trees, hills or struc-
tures. Pull into an area where no trees or buildings are
in the line of sight from unit to the satellites.
2. Check your +12 VDC power switch. Make sure
it is in the ON position.
#1. LNBF voltage. Disconnect the coax cable from
the LNBF. Check voltage from the middle wire to
the shield. There should be +12 to +19 VDC. If no
voltage is present, make sure receiver is on and
check again for +12 to +19 VDC at ends of gray
coax cable.
#2. ëMini-cableí connection voltage at Control Box.
#3. Coax cable at Control Box going to DVB box.
#4. Coax cable at DVB box going to Heyco connector.
3. Check your connections. The receiver must be
connected to the power and coax connected from re-
ceiver to the satellite dish. Check demultiplexer
connection.
4. Check your power supply. The +12 VDC power
supply must be hooked up. Check for +12 VDC on the
roof at the connector.
7. Are the dip switches in the correct position
(101, 119 or 092)?
5. Is the rear adjustable base bracket facing the rear
of the vehicle? See Figure 1, page 4.
8. If the unit still does not have a signal, power off and
power back on.
6. Loss of signal may also be caused by snow on roof
of vehicle.
NOTE: The power rocker switch must be ON for the
next steps. Voltage must be +12 VDC, except at the
LNBF, see #2, Figure 9, page 10.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Signal strength screen meter shows some
signal strength, but constantly moves up and
down, and is never locked on satellite.
Check your power voltage. You may have unfil-
tered power. You must have a minimum of 12 VDC
to power the LNBF. If the LNBF shows no signal
strength, the unit will move and operate, but you will
not be able to lock onto a signal.
Unit continues to move, but never finds any signal.
The unit continues to move and the signal strength
screen shows that it is finding the satellites, but will
never lock onto any satellite. Continues to search.
Be sure the switches are set on the correct numbers ó
see page 5, step 5.
The GPS is not acquiring a signal.
The unit moves around in circles, then points off the
front of the coach.
Power unit off, then on.
The unit moves in circles and does not find the sat-
ellite, then begins to make grinding noise.
Check switches to make sure they are set correctly.

Installation
GPS installation —
Cable entry installation —
The GPS antenna is pre-wired and has a 1 meter foot
cable running through one of the HeycoÆ connectors.
1. Decide the best location for the cables to enter
the vehicle, and the location of the switch and re-
ceiver (see ìInstalling the switch and receiverîon
page 10). Drill a 1/2î hole in the roof, push wires in-
side. Make proper connections.
Determine location for GPS antenna. It is recom-
mended you place the GPS antenna 1 meter from
dome.
You must have filtered +12 VDC power source.
The recommended location for the GPS antenna is
based on having a level location and a clear view of
the sky for the best satellite signal acquisition.
2. Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw
in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved
sealant (not included).
IMPORTANT! The GPS must be located 1meter
away from obstructions on roof of vehicle and other
obstructions such as trees, tall buildings, etc. You must
have a clear view of the sky for proper operation.
3. Depending on the length of the cable on the roof,
you may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not
provided) between the unit and your cable-entry plate.
Clamping the cable every 12î-16î should eliminate
any unnecessary
cable movement,
