KVH Industries TracVision S2 User Manual

To turn off the TracVision S2 system, simply press the
switchplate’s POWER button (see 

Turn on the TracVision S2 after your vehicle is parked. Once the
startup procedure is complete and the antenna is locked onto the
correct satellite, the TracVision S2 does not need to be turned on.
You may turn off the TracVision S2 unit to avoid unnecessary use
of power. The antenna will continue to receive the satellite TV
signals and relay them to the IRD.

The DISH 500 service offers programming on two different
satellites. As a result, if you change to a channel that is located on
the other satellite, you will need to use the switchplate’s SAT
SELECT switch to select the second satellite. Further, if you then
need to switch back to the first satellite, you will need to use the
SAT SELECT switch again until the first satellite is reacquired.
Please be patient during this process; due to the satellites’
spacing, it may take some time to return to the original satellite.

As part of its operation, TracVision S2 routinely saves the satellite
position to memory and retains it when the system is turned off.
When TracVision S2 is powered up, the system looks at the
satellite’s last saved position. If the vehicle has not changed its
location, the antenna will immediately acquire the satellite and
receive the signal without initializing the antenna.

If the vehicle moves after the TracVision S2 is turned off, the
antenna unit will quickly carry out its normal initialization
routine to reacquire the satellite when next powered on.
