DIRECTV® receivers must be set to the two satellite, oval dish setting. Refer to your receiver manual.
DISH Network receivers must either have the check switch set for SW42 or unknown, no satellite found. See
page 5.
The satellite system has two modes of operation; Tracking Mode and Sleep Mode. When you first turn the
unit on it enters Tracking Mode. In this mode the unit will search and actively follow the satellite as the vehicle
travels. Tracking Mode ends when the unit has successfully finished its search and the vehicle has not moved
for six minutes.
Sleep Mode, this is the unit at rest mode. During Sleep mode the dish will toggle between primary and sec-
ondary satellites as you change channels with the remote. The unit enters Sleep mode about six minutes after
a successful search if stationary, or six minutes after the vehicle stops moving.
3
Operation
b. If it moves off the signal , it is in an effort to verify
the signal and it should return to the signal shortly.
1. Turn on receiver and television set. The MV-4002
must be connected to a receiver that is plugged
into 120 VAC.
5. After the unit has verified that it has the correct
satellite, it will continue to fine tune for about 6 min-
utes (unless the vehicle is in-motion, see 7 below).
2. Verify that you are getting the receiver’s menu
screens on the television. These screens are avail-
able with or without the dish finding the signal.
6. At the end of 6 minutes the unit will move to check
it’s alternate satellite then move back to the primary
and go to sleep. See page 3 for a description of
Sleep Mode.
3. Turn the power switch on for the MV-4002.
The dish should start moving, making one or two
revolutions before it stops to acquire GPS. This can
take a few moments or up to 10 minutes. Normal
operation will be less than a minute.
7. While the vehicle is in motion, the unit will not en-
ter sleep mode after a successful search. Instead it
will wait until the unit has stopped moving for 6 min-
utes before entering sleep mode.
4. Once the unit has acquired GPS, the dish will
begin its search.
a. The dish will pause on the signal long enough to
determine which satellite it has found.
8. If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting,
p. 11.
Recovery from Signal Interruption—
While traveling, the signal will be interrupted
when the line of sight to the satellite is blocked.
Signal is acquired again after line of sight is restored.
If signal is interrupted for more than 15 seconds, the
system automatically enters the search routine. The
length of time for the TV picture to recover de-
pends on the receiver model you are using.
The unit must travel in straight
line for 10 seconds when starting
to operate in motion.
4
To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—
While in Sleep Mode, the MV-4002 will toggle be-
tween the primary and seconday satellites for either
DISH Network or DIRECTV. Both have program-
ming on more than one satelite.When a channel is
selected on the remote control and is not on the
satellite currently selected, the unit will automati-
cally move to the correct satellite.
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.
5. Your system is now set up to toggle between sat-
ellites. It will automatically move to the correct
satellite when a channel is selected with your remote
control.
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 satel-
lite, the unit will automatically move to that
satellite.
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.
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.)
To install the “SW42” switch:
1. Before turning on your MV-4002 system, make
sure that your satellite receiver and television are
turned on and your receiver is on the “point dish”
menu. (Consult your owner’s manual to reach this
menu.)
2. While the vehicle is stationary, turn on the MV-
4002 system and wait for signal acquisition on
satellite 119.
3. After signal is acquired, the system will continu-
ously track the signal for approximately 6 minutes.
At the end of 6 minutes, the unit will enter sleep
mode. You now have 6 minutes to complete
Check Switch test. Consult your receiver manual
for instructions on running this test. Be sure that
Superdish andAlternate are unchecked if applicable.
Onscreen options may vary by receiver.

screws (provided) for each foot.
9. After all base feet are secured to roof, put
sealant around edge of feet and over screws.
Replace base on screws and reinstall nut.
WARNING: Level the base front to back and
side to side. If base is not level the MV-4002 may
require more time to locate the correct satellite
or may not locate the correct satellite.
• Be sure no roof-mounted equipment is
blocking the satellite “line of sight”, Fig. 3
• You will need to decide where the wires will enter
the vehicle.Acoax and a power wire (minimum 16
gauge) will need to be run into the vehicle.

Installation
GPS installation —
INSTALLING THE POWER SWITCH
10. The GPS antenna is pre-wired and has a 1 meter
cable running through one of the connectors.
1. Choose a location to install the MV-4002 power
ON/OFF switch. Remember when selecting a location
that you will need to run the +12VDC power cable from
the MV-4002 to the switch. Be sure the switch is in
the OFF position before continuing. See Figure 9
page 10.
Determine location for GPS antenna. It is recom-
mended you place the GPS antenna 3 feet from dome.
The recommended location for the GPS antenna is
based on having a level location and a clear view of the
sky for the best satellite signal acquisition. Do not se-
cure GPS antenna to roof at this time.
Wall or panel mount: Drill 1-1/4” hole, pull wires
through wall or panel.
IMPORTANT! The GPS must be located minimum of 3
feet away from obstructions on roof of vehicle. Antenna
must have a clear view of the sky for proper op-
eration.
Surface mount: Determine location and direction of
box. Mount box and feed wire into one of the box open
ings. Select plate cover (brown or white provided) and
snap the rocker switch into the switch plate. Be sure
switch is off!
Cable entry installation —
2. Connect the ground wire from the vehicle and the
BLACK ground wire from the MV-4002 together,
using large yellow spade connector.
1. Decide the best location for the cables to enter the
vehicle, and the location of the switch and receiver
(see “Installing the switch and receiver”on page 10). Drill
a 1/2” hole in the roof, push wires inside. Make proper
connections.
3. Connect the YELLOW spade connector to
the silver spade on the switch.
You must have filtered +12 VDC power source.
4. Connect the RED wire from the MV unit to the
small RED spade connector.
2. Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw
in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved seal-
ant (not included).
5. Connect small RED spade connector to center
spade on switch.
6. Connect the +12 V power wire from the vehicle to
a small RED spade connector.
3. Depending on the length of the cable on the roof, you
may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not pro-
vided) between the unit and your cable-entry plate.
Clamping the cable every 12”-16” should eliminate any
unnecessary cable movement, Figure 6.
7. Connect small RED spade connect to isolated
spade on switch.

2. DO NOT MOVE VEHICLE during the first
initialization. Power up unit, turn on receiver. FOR
THE FIRST TIME ONLY, the unit may take up to
10 minutes to initially find the satellite signal. The
GPS is also initializing at this time. After the GPS
initializes, the unit will begin searching for the
correct satellite. See page 4 for detail of operation.
Connecting two receivers—
Connecting first receiver:
1. Inside the vehicle, connect the coax cable from the
roof to the “IN” input on the splitter (SP-2052). Connect
a coax cable from one of the “OUT” ports or jack on the
splitter (SP-2052). Connect other end of this cable to
the “input” on the DC PASSIVE D575p demultiplexer.
3. If the GPS does not initialize at this time, turn
off the unit. You may need to move the GPS
antenna to a different location on your roof.After
you move the GPS, DO NOT SECURE TO ROOF.
2. The primary receiver is the one used most often.
This receiver will also control the satellite dish.
4. TEST YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE SECURING
THE GPS ANTENNA. Make sure the

TV/receiver has found the correct satellite.
5. After the correct satellite has been found, secure
GPS antenna by removing adhesive backing
and securing to roof.
Connecting the second receiver:
4. Connect a coax cable from the other “OUT” output
on the splitter (SP-2052). Connect the other end of this
cable to the “input” on the DC BLOCK demultiplexer.
5. Connect a coax cable from the “receiver” output on the
DC BLOCK demultiplexer. Connect the other end of this
cable to “Satellite IN” on the secondary receiver.
6. This receiver will only view the satellite that the main
receiver is on.It will never toggle on it’s on.

Troubleshooting
SOLUTION
PROBLEM
1. Check your Power switch to verify that it is in the ON position.
The MV-4002 does not attempt to find a satellite or
it never moves.
2. Make sure that the receiver is plugged in and the satellite in jack is
connected to MV-4002.
3. Verify that the MV-4002 has had it’s three shipping straps re-
moved. These straps are located inside the dome and keeps the
dish from moving until it is installed.
1. Wait 10 minutes. The unit can take up to 10 minutes to acquire
GPS. If it normally takes 10 minutes to acquire GPS, contact
Winegard.
The MV-4002 turns on and moves for a few seconds
then stops and never moves again.
2. If you feel comfortable doing so, look on the roof of the vehicle to
verify that the GPS antenna is at least 3 feet from the dome and
other objects on roof. Failure to have the GPS antenna at least 3
feet away can cause the dome to interfere with GPS aquisition. If
antenna is too close, move it.
3. Check the GPS antenna cable for damage. If there is a
pinched or damaged section, contact Winegard.
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 “Un-
known” or “SW42”.
For DirecTV the receiver should be set for a Two Satellite Oval
Dish.
2. Make sure the receiver has power and the satellite dish is con-
nected to the “Sat In”.
With DirecTV, the Dish will find the alternate
Satellite but it never finds the primary satellite.
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.
1. Most likely the dish has locked on the satellite. Sometimes
the receiver refuses to show it until its ready. To help it get
ready, turn the receiver, not the dish, OFF. Wait a few minutes
and turn it back on.
The Dish stopped searching and is making little
circles in the same area but I don’t have a signal.
2. For Dish Network users, the Dish might be set to find DirecTV.
See page 3 for instructions on setting it for Dish Network.
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 sat-
ellites 110 and 119.
I am not getting all the Dish Network channels
I subscribed to.
The MV-4002 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
connected to the “Sat In”.
4. Verify electronics board inside dome is installed in proper loca-
tion. Board should be placed so that magnets on unit’s gears
pass through electronics board slot without hitting interior boards.
Verify that the switches are set for the install option used for
your vehicle. Option A has the rear mounting foot facing off the
back of the vehicle. Option B has the rear mounting foot facing
off the front of vehicle. See page 3 for switch settings.
The MV-4002 works when it is stationary but fails
when the vehicle is in motion.
