3.3 Watching Television
TracVision R5 is designed to operate whether your vehicle is in
motion or parked. TracVision R4 is designed to operate only
while your vehicle is parked.
Using Your TracVision R5/R4 When Parked
When your vehicle is stopped, it is not necessary for the
TracVision R5/R4 to be turned on. After parking your vehicle
and confirming that the antenna is r
eceiving the satellite signal,
you may turn off the TracVision R5/R4 unit to avoid unnecessary
use of power. Because the LNB receives its power from the
receiver, the antenna will continue to receive the satellite TV
signals and relay them to the receiver
.
However
, if you plan to change to a channel that is br
oadcast by
another satellite, TracVision R5/R4 must be turned on so the
antenna can search for, identify, and lock onto the different
satellite.
Cable Unwrap
The antenna unit can rotate a full 720° before coming to the end
of its cable. If it does so, the system automatically unwraps the
cable by quickly r
otating the dish in the opposite dir
ection.
During this process, your television transmission will be frozen
momentarily while the cable unwraps and the antenna reacquires
the satellite.
