The installation process is complete! 

Before you depart the vessel, test the system to 
verify the antenna works properly. Then give the 
Customer Welcome Kit to the customer and 
explain how to use the system. Also be sure the 
customer understands the following:

• Keep the radome installed on the antenna at 

all times. The radome protects the antenna’s 
moving parts from wind, rain, and debris.

• The antenna must have a clear view of the 

sky to receive satellite TV. Common causes of 

blockage include trees, buildings, bridges, 

and onboard equipment (see Figure 40).

• Heavy rain or snow may temporarily 

interrupt reception.

• Clean the antenna regularly. Dirt buildup on 

the radome can affect reception.

• The vessel must be located within the 

selected satellite’s coverage area to receive its 

satellite TV signals. To view satellite coverage 

maps, visit

• Please register the system with KVH. The 

registration process is quick, easy, online, and 

ensures the best possible service from KVH. 

 or refer to the 

Product Registration Form for details.

• You need to activate the receiver for the 

desired satellite TV service before the 

receiver can decode satellite signals. KVH can 

help you activate a DIRECTV receiver; just 

call KVH’s Activation Department at 

1-888-584-4163 (Mon.-Fri., 8:30 am - 5 pm ET)

• Refer to the User’s Guide for complete 

operation instructions and troubleshooting 

information.

It is dangerous to watch TV while piloting a 

vessel. The TracVision system is intended as 

a passenger entertainment product only.
