Introduction
Congratulations! You have purchased one of
Winegard’s latest developments in the mobile satellite
reception product line —the Movin’ ViewTM. This sys-
tem, used with your digital satellite receiver, will
deliver the best reception possible using GPS (Global
Positioning System) and precision gyroscopes.
How Does Digital Satellite
TV Work?
Satellite programming originates from an “uplink” facil-
ity on Earth — the facility receives many signals from
different sources, combines the signals digitally and
transmits to the satellites. The satellites (22,300
miles above Earth) receive the uplink signal, amplify it
and then transmit it back to earth in
the Ku frequency band. This signal
is concentrated and reflected to the
LNBF* located at the “focal point” of
the dish. The LNBF amplifies and
converts the signal to the 950 to 1450
MHz range. The signal is then passed
through a coaxial cable to the receiver
where individual channel selection and pro-
cessing take place.

2. Determine which programming you will be using. This will determine how you set your switches.
For DISH Network set switches to 119°. For ExpressVu®,set switches to 091°.
NOTICE!
This model is PRESET for DIRECTV®receivers.
If you have a DISH Network®or ExpressVu®(Canada) receiver,
you must change the numbered switches inside the dome.
TO CHANGE SWITCHES INSIDE DOME —
1. Remove screws holding dome to base and remove dome. Place dome in safe spot to avoid damage.
Switches will be set at 101° for DIRECTV®. You will be changing these switches.
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.

Operation
1. Turn on receiver and television set. The MV-4002
must be connected to a receiver that is plugged
into 120 VAC.
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.
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.
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.
b. If it moves off the signal , it is in an effort to verify
the signal and it should return to the signal shortly.
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).
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.
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.
8. If you do not have signal, see Troubleshooting,
p. 11.
Recovery from Signal Interruption—
The unit must travel in straight
line for 10 seconds when starting
to operate in motion.
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.

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.
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.
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 and Alternate are unchecked if applicable.
Onscreen options may vary by receiver.
4. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will
begin checking the switch by toggling between
satellites. When this is completed, SW42 will ap-
pear on the screen. It will be at the top of the
screen, satellite designations will be below, show-
ing odd and even transponders. See illustration.
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.
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.

Installation
IMPORTANT! Do not install this system
in the rain, or under any wet conditions. Mois-
ture may affect electronics and void your
warranty!
1. For best performance and to reduce signal ac-
quisition time, park vehicle on a level surface; level
the RV.
2. Select a level spot on your roof for installation.
Using the chart,
determine the
minimum distances
to other equipment.
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. 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.
!
Install in DRY conditions only!

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.
REAR MOUNTING FOOT MUST BE PARALLEL
WITH THE CENTER LINE OF VEHICLE. See pg. 7.
6. Place the unit on the roof in its permanent loca-
tion and mark around the base bracket, Figure 4.
(Make sure the rear adjustable base foot is par-
allel with the center line of the vehicle. Refer
to page 3, Figure 1A ).
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.
9. After all base feet are secured to roof, put
sealant around edge of feet and over screws.

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.
You must have filtered +12 VDC power source.
2. Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables. Screw
in place. Seal plate and screw holes with approved seal-
ant (not included).
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.

cable running through one of the connectors.
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.
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.
