Operation for DISH Users
The TRAV’LER antenna offers a simple one-button operation. Simply press “POWER,” and the antenna will
automatically begin searching for satellites. The instructions assume that the antenna is already in the stowed position.
2. Once the unit has been powered on,
release “POWER.”
1. Press and hold “POWER” for two
seconds or until the TRAV’LER
interface displays “POWER ON.”
3. The interface screen will display
the type of satellite dish on the
top line.
4. The TRAV’LER antenna will enter
the search mode as part of its
normal operation and will display
“Searching” on the bottom line.
6. In automatic search mode, the
TRAV’LER antenna will lock onto
three different satellites: 119°, 110°,
and 129°. The antenna will display
an asterisk for each satellite found.
5. The antenna will find its home
position and begin to look for a
satellite. Upon finding a satellite, the
antenna will fine-tune or “peak” on
the signal.
TIP
To turn off the power to the TRAV’LER antenna after the antenna has
locked onto satellites, press “POWER” and “SELECT” at the same time.
Before traveling, make sure to press “POWER” and wait for the antenna to
start to power up; then press “POWER” again to initiate the stow sequence.
See below for information on stowing before traveling.
7. Continue to page 3 if setting up the
receiver for the first time or if setting
up the receiver after moving the
receiver from the house to the RV. If
the receiver is already set up in the
RV, you are now ready to watch TV!
User Menu
The interface includes a user menu for some advanced features. The options most commonly used are the ability to change
the dish type, check software/hardware versions, change desired satellite configuration, or manually move the dish.
WARNING
Improper use of the user menu could cause damage to the TRAV’LER antenna and/or vehicle. Follow
all instructions when entering the user menu for manual operation. See page 3.
Ready to Travel?
The TRAV’LER antenna is not meant for use while traveling. To stow the unit when you are ready to travel, press
“POWER” one time. The unit will stop what it is doing and return to the stowed position. The TRAV’LER interface will
not turn off unless the TRAV’LER anetnna is successfully stowed. Visually inspect that the antenna is in the stowed/
travel position before traveling. Do not move the vehicle until the TRAV’LER antenna is stowed.
Emergency Manual Stow
If unable to stow the TRAV’LER antenna, it may be necessary to use emergency manual stow. Emergency manual stow
is meant as a last resort and is not meant for common usage! To use emergency manual stow, unplug the interface
box. Then, remove the black plastic bolt from the back of the mount. Insert a 3/8th socket extension into this auxiliary
drive. Turn the auxiliary drive clockwise to lower the unit. Do not use a drill!
Emergency Power Off
The antenna comes with an emergency power off feature. To activate it, press and hold “POWER” and then press
“SELECT” while still holding “POWER”. The TRAV’LER antenna will stop and turn off. If the emergency power off
feature is used, the antenna may not be in a safe position for travel. Do not move the vehicle until the unit is stowed.
