1.  Turn on the TV and satellite receiver.

 2. 

Your FLEX controller should be on from the confi guration process on pages 4-5.  If not, press 

POWER

 and wait for the 

COAX CONNECTION

 light to stop fl ashing and remain on.

Press and hold 

SCAN 

for 3 seconds. 

The antenna will locate all of the appropriate satellites before completing the search process. 

After the antenna acquisition process is complete, specifi c SCAN PROGRESS lights will 
turn on to indicate which satellites have been found (see chart on page 11). 

If you confi gured the antenna for DISH SD and HD and the antenna cannot acquire the 
110, 119, and 129 satellites, you may need to confi gure the antenna for DISH SD and 
HD Alternate (pages 4-5).

IMPORTANT!  YOU MUST HAVE COMPLETED THE ANTENNA CONFIGURATION (PAGES 4-5), AND 

PERFORMED A SUCCESSFUL SEARCH (STEP 2 BELOW), BEFORE RUNNING THE CHECK 
SWITCH TEST (STEP 3 ON NEXT PAGE).

NOTE:

  For automatic satellite switching, King Controls recommends using a DISH model 311 receiver for 

DISH SD

.

If you do not have a clear view of the satellites, the switch will not load correctly.

The SW21 and SW64 switches are a receiver software confi guration that is loaded into the receiver after 
successfully running a check switch test with the dish locked on and confi gured 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 the receiver is connected to a home dish system.

b) check switch test is run when the receiver is not connected.

 c) 

you travel outside the coverage area of either 

DISH SD and HD

 or 

DISH SD and HD Alternate

 and switch 

to the other.

 d) 

you are parked in an area where the selected satellites are blocked, but are able to select alternate 
satellites and get signal.

RECEIVER CONFIGURATION - DISH AND BELL TV

IMPORTANT!

The antenna unit requires a 

“direct line of sight” to the 

satellites for signal reception.

Any tall objects can block the 

signal from reaching the dish.
