Troubleshooting

The MV3500A does not attempt to nd a satellite or

it never moves.

The dish never stops on any of the signals that

it sees.

1. Check your Power switch to verify that it is in the ON position.

2. Check +12 V wires at unit to verify power. Check fuse on

electronics.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

1. Make sure that your receiver is set up correctly.

For DISH Network, the check switch should read either “Unknown”

or “SW42”.

For DirecTV the receiver should be set for a Two Satellite Oval

Dish.

With DIRECTV, the dish will nd the alternate

satellite but it never nds the primary satellite.

I am not getting all the DISH Network channels

I subscribed to.

The MV3500A never sees any signals, it just keeps

searching.

Make sure that the Switches on the Electronics Control Box are

set for DirecTV. See page 3. These switches are found under the

dome, inside the Electronics Control Box.

1. Go to the check switch menu in receiver. Make sure that it’s set

for SW42 and lists both even and odd transponders on satellites

110° and 119°.

1. Rain, Snow or excessive Dew on the dome can interrupt the

signal. Snow and Dew can be brushed off the dome. If Heavy rain

or Snow fall is blocking the signal, it may be necessary to wait

until the weather clears.

2. Check to see if the Southern sky is clear. Trees, Buildings,

Large signs or an Overpass can block the signal. Find an area

where you can be sure that this is not the problem and try again.

3. Make sure the receiver has power and the satellite dish is con-

nected to the “Sat In”.
