Automatic Operation for DISH Users

Manual Operation

The TRAV’LER interface offers a simple one button operation. This one button operation is used for both general
operation and for selecting the antenna type. The steps below show the screens that will be displayed as the TRAV’LER
antenna searches for satellites. For steps on how to set up the TRAV’LER antenna for Bell TV, see pages 3–4.

Search Mode*
Diagnostics

The TRAV’LER antenna will enter the
search mode as part of its normal
operation.

The TRAV’LER interface box will try
to determine the type of dish that it is
working with. The TRAV’LER interface
will display the type of satellite dish on
the top line.

The User Menu consists of four choices:
Search Mode, Diagnostics, Installation,
and Exit.

The TRAV’LER will find its home
position. Then, it will begin to look for a
satellite. When the TRAV’LER antenna
finds a satellite, it will peak on the signal
and determine which satellites have
been found. Once the TRAV’LER knows
which satellites have been found, it
moves to the correct satellite(s).

Diagnostic and Installation
menus are not required for
normal operation and should only be
entered by a trained professional.

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.

Stowed/Travel Position

The TRAV’LER interface will not turn off unless the TRAV’LER mount 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
Emergency manual stow is meant as a last resort and is not meant for common usage!
Unplug the TRAV’LER interface. 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!

Select option 1,

Select Check
Switch.

The Winegard TRAV’LER 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 TRAV’LER antenna may not be in a safe position for travel.
Do not move the vehicle until you are able to stow the unit. See Ready to Travel? above.

Other Notes

Weather and vehicle location can impact the ability of the TRAV’LER antenna to locate all of the required satellites.
Obstructions such as buildings or tree limbs can block the satellite signals and prevent the TRAV’LER antenna from
successfully locating all of the satellites for Multi-Sat Mode. Make sure you have a clear view of the southern sky.

If your receiver is showing a switch type of DPP1K.2,
then a check switch test is not necessary.
If it is of any other type other than DPP1K.2, then make
sure that there are no checkmarks by SuperDISH or Alternate, and select Test to run a check switch test.
