Control Panel Operation/Check Switch Routine
Performing Check Switch routine to enable satellite toggle function used with
multi-satellite programming
DISH Network programming (DISH 500)
NOTE: Once these steps have been completed, you
will not need to perform this test again, unless check
switch was performed on another satellite dish such
as a home dish.
1. Wait for unit to acquire the satellite signal on
satellite 119. (See search procedure, pp. 6-7.)
2. After signal has been acquired, 6 minutes remain to
complete Check Switch test; this 6 minutes will
expire with unit on or off. Consult DISH Network
receiver manual to perform Check Switch test.
3. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will
begin checking your switch by toggling between
transponders. When this is completed, SW42 will
appear on the screen. It will be at the top of the
screen, satellite designations will be below, showing
odd and even transponders. See illustration below.
NOTE: If a switch other than SW42 appears, or you
have an X in one the of the boxes below the satel-
lites, repeat Check Switch steps.
AS-2003 will toggle between different satellites for the program provider you have. Both DIRECTV and DISH
Network have programming on more than one satellite.
When a channel is selected on the remote control and it is not located on the satellite the unit is currently on,
the system on the vehicle will automatically move to the new satellite. (When using multiple receivers, toggling
is controlled by the primary receiver. The primary receiver is connected to the dish with the white coax; sec-
ondary receiver if used, connects with the almond coax).
DIRECTV programming
1. There is some SETUP required for DIRECTV. You must select “Oval Dish 2 Satellites” in the receiver menu. To
change this, see Owner’s Manual for DIRECTV receiver. When you request a channel located on a different satellite,
the unit will automatically move to that satellite.
4. If you still have an error, your vehicle may be parked
so satellites are on either side of the automatic stop
on the roof unit. The dish is unable to locate the
second satellite because it is forced to complete
almost a full revolution because of the stop. (See
illustration.) You can go outside and watch the dish
to see if this is happening.
The solution is to move your vehicle to a different
angle so the satellites are not located on either side
of the stop in the outside unit.
5. Your system is now set up to toggle between
satellites. It will automatically move to the correct
satellite when channel is selected.

NOTE: If the unit is raised and you want to put in park position, the satellite receiver
must be on and supplying voltage to the LNBF.
2. When the unit has finished the park routine, the SEARCH LED will automatically go off,
leaving only the ON and PARK LEDs still on. This indicates the unit is properly parked and
can be turned off. Before traveling, be sure the unit is in parked position. To be sure, step
outside and visually inspect before leaving your location.
