Important Information About Your System

Important Information About Your

TracVision®M7 System with Auto Skew

Congratulations! Your TracVision M7 system has Auto Skew

capability, which provides automatic skew angle adjustment for your

selected satellite(s), and an internal GPS antenna. These added

features are not cited in the product manuals.

You Do Not Need to Adjust the LNB Skew Angle.

Your TracVision system includes an Auto Skew mechanism, which

automatically adjusts the skew angle of the antenna’s LNB. Therefore,

disregard any instructions in the manuals that direct you to modify the

LNB’s skew angle. No manual adjustment is necessary.

TIP: For more information on how skew works, please refer to the TracVision

M7 User’s Guide.

You Do Not Need to Enter Your Latitude and Longitude.

Your TracVision M7 system includes a GPS antenna, which provides

constantly updated location information to the TracVision system.

Therefore, disregard any instructions in the manuals that direct you to

manually enter the vessel’s latitude and longitude.
