OPERATION (VEHIClE MUST bE STATIONARY!!)
1. Turn on receiver and television set. The MV3500A
must be connected to a receiver that is plugged
into 120 VAC.
visible on your receiver’s point dish screen.
5. After the unit has verified that it has the correct satellite,
it will move to check the alternate satellite and move back
to the primary satellite to complete the search routine.
2. Verify that you are getting the receiver’s menu
screens on the television. These screens are available
with or without the dish finding the signal.
6. If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting, p.11.
NOTE: because the MV3500A uses information from
the last location that it was on a signal, satellite acqui-
sition may take longer if the dish is inactive over long
distance traveling.
3. Turn the power switch on for the MV3500A. The
dish will detect if it is already on a satellite signal. If
it detects a signal, the dish will move to check its al-
ternate satellite and then move back to the original
satellite signal that it was on.
DirecTV must be set to the “two” satellite, oval dish
setting. Refer to your receiver manual.
4. If no signal was detected, the dish will begin its
search to locate the primary satellite. Once the dish
locates a signal, it will pause long enough to identify
which satellite it has located. This may or may not be
DISH Network receivers must have the check switch
set for “SW42”. See page 4.

To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—
The MV3500A will toggle between the primary
and seconday satellites for either DISH Network
or DIRECTV. Both have programming on more
than one satelite. When a channel is selected on
the remote control and is not on the satellite cur-
rently selected, the unit will automatically toggle
to the correct satellite.
5. 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 re-
mote control.
NOTE: Once these steps are completed, you
won’t have to perform this test again, unless
Check Switch was performed on another satel-
lite dish, such as a home dish.
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.
Toggle: Your Winegard automatic
satellite dish will move from the
!
primary to the alternate satellite
in order to receive multi-satellite
programming.
DISH Network programming (DISH 500)
DISH Network receivers must have the “SW42”
switch installed in order to toggle between the pri-
mary 119° satellite and the alternate 110° satellite.
(Consult your receiver manual for the procedure
to reach the “check switch” menu.)

er manual for instructions on running this test. Be
sure that Superdish and Alternate are unchecked
if applicable. Onscreen options may vary by re-
ceiver.
NOTE: be sure the “Superdish” and “Alter-
nate” boxes ARE NOT checked.
Be sure that either the “SW42” switch
is installed, or that “unknown switch”
!
is installed. Any switch other than
“SW42” may result in unexpected
operation.
4. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will
begin checking the switch by toggling between
satellites. When this is completed, SW42 will
appear on the screen. It will be at the top of the
screen, satellite designations will be below, show-
ing odd and even transponders. See illustration.
If a switch other than SW42 appears, or you
have an X in one of the boxes below the satel-
lites, repeat Check Switch Steps.

Troubleshooting
SOLUTION
PROBLEM
The MV3500A does not attempt to find a satellite or
it never moves.
1. Check your Power switch to verify that it is in the ON position.
2. Check +12 V wires at unit to verify power. Check fuse on
electronics.
1. Make sure that your receiver is set up correctly.
The dish never stops on any of the signals that
it sees.
For DISH Network, the check switch should read either “Unknown”
or “SW42”.
For DirecTV the receiver should be set for a Two Satellite Oval
Dish.
Make sure that the Switches on the Electronics Control Box are
set for DirecTV. See page 3. These switches are found under the
dome, inside the Electronics Control Box.
With DIRECTV, the dish will find the alternate
satellite but it never finds the primary satellite.
I am not getting all the DISH Network channels
I subscribed to.
1. Go to the check switch menu in receiver. Make sure that it’s set
for SW42 and lists both even and odd transponders on satellites
110° and 119°.
The MV3500A never sees any signals, it just keeps
searching.
1. Rain, Snow or excessive Dew on the dome can interrupt the
signal. Snow and Dew can be brushed off the dome. If Heavy rain
or Snow fall is blocking the signal, it may be necessary to wait
until the weather clears.
2. Check to see if the Southern sky is clear. Trees, Buildings,
Large signs or an Overpass can block the signal. Find an area
where you can be sure that this is not the problem and try again.
3. Make sure the receiver has power and the satellite dish is con-
nected to the “Sat In”.
