Winegard GM-1518 TV Antenna User Manual


 
To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—
The Carryout antenna will toggle between the
primary or alternate satellites for either DISH
Network, BELL TV or DIRECTV. All have pro-
gramming on more than one satellite. When a
channel is selected on the remote control and it is
not on the satellite currently selected, the unit will
automatically toggle to the correct satellite.
DIRECTV programming
1. DIRECTV receivers must be set for oval dish 2
sat selection to enable toggling between primary
101°W satellite and alternate 119°W satellite
only. (Consult receiver manual for procedure.)
After receiver is set for the correct dish selection,
when you request a channel located on a different
satellite, the unit will automatically toggle to that
satellite.
NOTE: In some cases, the Two satellite option may not
be available, in these cases, select three satellite oval.
DISH Network programming (DISH 1000)
DISH Network receivers must have the “SW64”
switch installed in order to toggle between the
primary 119° satellite and the alternate satellites.
(Consult your receiver manual for the procedure
to reach the “check switch” menu.)
NOTE: This “SW64 Switch” is a DISH Network
receiver setting, NOT a physical part.
To install the “SW64” switch:
1. Before turning on your
Carryout antenna, make
sure that your satellite receiver and television are
turned on and your receiver is on the “point dish”
menu. (Consult your receiver manual to reach this
menu.)
2. Turn on the Carryout
system and wait for signal
acquisition on satellite 119°.
3. Wait for unit to stay on the 119° for 30 seconds
without moving off of the signal.
4. You now have six minutes to complete Check
Switch test. To do this for MOST DISH Network
receivers:
Press [MENU] on the DISH Network Remote
Control
!
Toggle: Your Winegard automatic
satellite dish will move from the
primary to the alternate satellites
in order to receive multi-satellite
programming.
Press [6] for System Set up
Press [1] for Installation
Press [1] for Point dish and signal meter
Once on this screen, nd CHECK SWITCH and
select it.
5. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will
begin checking the switch by toggling between
satellites. When this is completed, SW64 will ap-
pear on the screen. It will be below the satellite
designations showing odd and even transpon-
ders. See illustration below.
If a switch other than SW64 appears, or you
have an X in one of the boxes below the
satellites, repeat Check Switch Steps.
6. Your system is now set up to toggle between
satellites. It will automatically move to the correct
satellite when a channel is selected with your
remote control.
NOTE: Once these steps are completed, you
won’t have to perform this test again on this
receiver, unless Check Switch was performed
on another satellite dish, such as a home dish.
NOTE: Be sure the “Superdish” and
“Alternate” boxes are NOT checked.
