SECTION 7
CHECK SWITCH PROCEDURE
DISH Network - Bell TV
IMPORTANT! The antenna must be on the ground, dock or motionless platform with no movement in order to
configure the DISH HD receiver.
If you are an end user and the Sea-King is already permanently mounted, you can perform the
configuration if the vessel is tied up tightly with no movement.
For automatic satellite switching, King Controls recommends using a DISH Network model 311
receiver for DISH 500, and a DISH Network model ViP211 or a ViP211k HDTV receiver for DISH
1000/1000a. Do not use dual tuner receivers or recorders.
If you do not have a clear view of the satellites, the switch will not load.
Note: The SW21 and SW64 switches are a receiver software configuration that is loaded into the receiver after
running a check switch test with the dish locked on and configured for the appropriate service.
This one time procedure will not need to be repeated after successful installation, unless a) check switch test is
run again while connected to a home dish system, b) check switch is run when a receiver is not connected, or c)
you travel outside the coverage area of the pre-set satellite trio (DISH 1000/1000a only).
