3.7 Install Software Update with Clone Box (if necessary)
It may be necessary to install a software update to your previously installed Winegard Sat-
ellite System to ensure proper communication with the HD Satellite Interface.
If your Winegard Satellite system was installed without a data cable, ie. only coax cables
and a black/red power cable were installed, it will most likely be necessary to update the
satellite system’s software.
If your system was installed with a data cable included, most likely you will not need to
install the update.
If you are installing the HD Satellite System as an add on to previously installed Winegard
Satellite System, you will continue to power the satellite antenna on/off through the wall
plate power switch. If you have already connected the power/data cable to the HD Satellite
Interface, you will power dish with Interface Power Button.
Power on the Satellite Antenna. If you are connected to the Satellite Interface, the status
screen will show an error message. You can disregard this message. The dish will begin
moving and may lock onto a satellite.
If not already done, remove the dome by removing the 8 dome screws. Do not lose the
dome screws!
Connect the 25’ clone box data cable to the modular port on the clone box. Connect the
other end to the modular data port on the satellite antenna’s electronics board.
See Figure 3.9
It is okay if the dish
is moving during the soft-
ware update.
The clone box will automatically begin the software upload. A green then red light will
immediately ash, followed by the green light ashing.
During the software upload, the green light will ash repeatedly. The software update proc-
ess will take approximately 2 minutes. When the software update is complete, the ashing
green light will become solid. You may unplug the clone box from the electronics board.
DO NOT POWER
OFF THE DISH OR
UNPLUG ANY CABLE
DURING SOFTWARE
UPDATE!. Doing so may
damage your system.
If a solid red light comes on after you plug in the system, your system is incompat-
ible with the Winegard Satellite System.
If a ashing red light appears during the software upload, an upload error has oc-
curred. Turn your satellite dish off, wait 15 seconds, then power it on again to retry
the software upload.
