4.1.8 Incorrect or Loose RF Connectors
As part of preventive maintenance (described in Section 5,
“Maintenance”) KVH recommends checking the antenna unit
cable connections. A loose RF connector can reduce the signal
quality. In addition, if you are unable to switch to the other
programmed satellite, make sure that you have connected your
RF signal cable to the antenna baseplate connector labeled “RF1”
(see Section 2.3.5, “Connecting the Antenna RF Signal Cable to the
IRD”).
4.1.9 Type of Multiswitch Used
(North American Systems Only)
An active (not passive) multiswitch must always be used to
connect the TracVision C3 system to multiple IRDs. Refer to
Section 2.3.5, “Connecting the Antenna RF Signal Cable to the
IRD” for directions on proper multiswitch/multiple IRD
cabling.
4.2 IRD Troubleshooting
The IRD that was provided with your satellite television service
may also be the cause of less-than-ideal operation. First check the
IRD’s configuration to ensure it is set up for the desired
programming. In the case of a faulty IRD, refer to your IRD user
manual for service and warranty information. If the IRD is both
configured properly and fully functional, contact your local KVH
dealer or service center for assistance.
