TracVision A5 Installation Guide
4-3 Testing the System
Now all you need to do is turn the system on and ensure everything works properly. Follow the steps below to turn on the TracVision A5 system and verify proper operation.
1.
Ensure that the antenna has a clear view of the satellite. The antenna requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky to receive satellite TV signals. T rees, buildings, highway overpasses, etc., can block satellite signals. Heavy rain or snow might also interrupt satellite signals. For complete details about satellite reception requirements, refer to Section 1-3, “Receiving
Satellite TV Signals,” in the User’s Guide.
Since the TracVision antenna requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky to receive satellite signals, the system will not work when the vehicle is in a garage.
