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. (The unit will not toggle in Tracking Mode, see page 5.) 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 is the unit at rest mode. During Sleep mode the dish will toggle between primary and second-  
ary 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. (See page 5.)  
3
 
Operation  
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-4000  
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 track the signal.  
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. If the vehicle does not move for 6 minutes the  
unit will toggle to it’s alternate satellite then toggle  
back to the primary satellite and go to sleep. Refer  
to page 3 for a description of Sleep Mode. If vehicle  
begins movement, the unit will resume tracking  
mode.  
3. Turn the power switch on for the MV-4000.  
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 10-15 minutes. Nor-  
mal operation will be less than a minute.  
7. While the vehicle is in motion, the unit will not  
enter sleep mode after a successful search. Instead  
it will wait until the unit has stopped moving for 6  
minutes before entering sleep mode.  
4. Once the unit has acquired GPS, the dish will  
begin its search.  
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 re-  
stored. If signal is interrupted for more than 15  
seconds, the system automatically enters the  
search routine. The length of time for the TV pic-  
ture to recover depends on the receiver model  
you are using.  
Must drive in straight line for 10  
seconds when starting to oper-  
ate in motion.

To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—  
While in Sleep Mode, the MV-4000 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 re-  
mote 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 differ-  
ent satellite, 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-4000 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-  
4000 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  
Install Summary

minutes. At the end of 6 minutes, the unit will en-  
ter 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 and Alternate are unchecked if appli-  
cable. Onscreen options may vary by receiver.

7. Clean roof area where the base feet will be  
attached to the roof. Do not erase your marks!  
8. Put approved sealant in the areas marked  
for the base feet. Place base feet on top of the  
sealant and screw down with the (4) #10  
screws (provided) for each foot.  
WARNING: Level the base front to back and side  
to side. If base is not level the MV-4000 may re-  
quire more time to locate the correct satellite  
or may not locate the correct satellite.  
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.  
• 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. A coax and a power wire (minimum 16  
gauge) will need to be run into the vehicle.

WARNING: Many +12VDC sources can cause the  
unit to fail. Select a filtered source, preferably a dedi-  
cated line to the battery.  
3. Remove dome. Place dome in safe spot to avoid  
damage. Place base on vehicle roof in the location  
selected.  
4. Attach each mounting foot to base by securing  
with two 7/16” nylocks. See page 7 for foot locations.  
5. After selecting location for unit (see number 2),  
put the unit on the centerline of the vehicle.

Installation  
GPS installation —  
10. The GPS antenna is pre-wired and has a 1 meter  
cable running through one of the connectors.  
INSTALLING THE POWER SWITCH  
1. Choose a location to install the MV-4000 power  
ON/OFF switch. Remember when selecting a location  
that you will need to run the +12VDC power cable  
from the MV-4000 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  
secure 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. An-  
tenna must have a clear view of the sky for proper  
operation.  
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-4000 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 re-  
ceiver (see “Installing the switch and receiver”on  
page 10). Drill a 1/2” hole in the roof, push wires in-  
side. Make proper connections.  
3. Connect the YELLOW spade connector to  
the silver spade on the switch.  
4. Connect the RED wire from the MV unit to the  
small RED spade connector.  
You must have filtered +12 VDC power source.  
5. Connect small RED spade connector to center  
spade on switch.  
2. Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables.  
Screw in place. Seal plate and screw holes with ap-  
proved sealant (not included).  
6. Connect the +12 V power wire from the vehicle to  
a small RED spade connector.  
7. Connect small RED spade connect to isolated  
spade on switch.  
3. Depending on the length of the cable on the roof,  
you may need to use cable clamps or wire ties (not  
provided) between the unit and your cable-entry plate.  
Clamping the cable every 12”-16” should eliminate  
any unnecessary cable movement, Figure 6.

Installation • Wiring  
CONNECTING THE RECEIVER —  
Connect the coax cable from the roof to the  
“Satellite In” connection on the receiver.  
(A dual receiver upgrade kit is available. Contact  
Winegard Company for more information.)  
INITIALIZING ---  
1. Be sure vehicle is in a location free of all obstruc-  
tions and with a clear view of the southern sky.  
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 details of Opera-  
tion.  
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.  
4. TEST YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE SECURING  
THE GPS ANTENNA. Verify that the dish has  
found the correct satellite by checking the  
receiver’s signal meter screen.  
5. After the correct satellite has been found, secure  
GPS antenna by removing adhesive backing  
and securing to roof.

Troubleshooting  
SOLUTION  
PROBLEM  
1. Check your Power switch to verify that it is in the ON position.  
The MV-4000 does not attempt to find a satellite or  
it never moves.  
2. Check +12 V wires at unit to verify power. Check fuse on electronics.  
3. Verify that the MV-4000 has had it’s shipping straps removed.  
These straps are located inside the dome and keep 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-4000 turns on and moves for a few sec-  
onds 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 satel-  
lites 110 and 119.  
I am not getting all the DISH Network channels  
I subscribed to.  
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.  
The MV-4000 never sees any signals, it just keeps  
searching.  
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 con-  
nected 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.  
The MV-4000 works when it is stationary but fails  
when the vehicle is in motion.  
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.
