Manual Addendum

(ECO #5416)

The following information applies to Revision E of the

TracVision 4 Installation and Technical Manual (KVH Part

Number 54-0150).

Appendix E

Predefined Satellite

Configurations

Some minor corrections have been made to the table of predefined

satellite configurations for European satellites (corrections are noted in

bold type). The North American satellite data remains unchanged.

As noted previously, your TracVision 4 comes programmed with

the satellite configurations for seven European and seven North

American satellite services. For your reference, those

configurations are listed below. These configurations are current

as of July 1, 2001, and are subject to change by the satellite

service providers.
