The RoadTrip
®
Minimax
antenna will toggle
between the primary or alternate satellites for
either DISH Network or DIRECTV. Both have
programming on more than one satellite. When a
channel is selected on the remote control and is
not on the satellite currently selected, the unit will
automatically toggle to the correct satellite.
DIRECTV
®
programming
1. DIRECTV receivers must be set for oval dish 2
sat selection to enable toggling between primary
101°W satellite and alternate 119°W satellite
only. (Consult receiver manual for procedure.)
After receiver is set for the correct dish selection,
when you request a channel located on a different
satellite, the unit will automatically toggle to that
satellite.
DISH Network
®
programming (DISH 500)
DISH Network receivers must have the “SW64”
switch installed in order to toggle between the pri-
mary 119° satellite and the alternate 110° satellite.
(Consult your receiver manual for the procedure
to reach the “check switch” menu.)
NOTE: This “SW64 Switch” is a DISH Network
receiver setting, NOT a physical part.
To install the “SW64” switch:
1. Before turning on your
RoadTrip Minimax an-
tenna, make sure that your satellite receiver and
television are turned on and your receiver is on
the “point dish” menu. (Consult your owner’s man-
ual to reach this menu.)
2. Turn on the RoadTrip Minimax
system and wait
for the unit to acquire a signal on satellite 119°.
3. You now have six minutes to complete Check
Switch test. Consult your receiver manual
for instructions on running the test. Be sure
that Superdish and Alternate are unchecked
if applicable. Onscreen options may vary by
receiver.
4. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will
begin checking the switch by toggling between
satellites. When this is completed, SW64 will
appear on the screen. It will be at the top of the
screen, satellite designations will be below, show-
ing odd and even transponders. See illustration
below.
NOTE: Be sure the “Superdish” and
“Alternate” boxes are NOT checked.
