INTRODUCTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

TAILGATER PACKAGE CONTENTS

1. Please read this User’s Guide thoroughly before using the Tailgater.

2. Keep this User’s Guide and the included Quick Reference Guide in a safe place for future

reference.

3. Follow all instructions and warnings. Set up and operate the Tailgater in accordance with the

instructions.

4. Do not power wash or submerge the Tailgater in water. Hand wash only with mild soap and

water. See page 13 for additional care instructions.

5. Do not operate near any indoor or outdoor heat source such as radiators, heat registers,

stoves, barbecues, campres, or other items that produce heat.

6. Servicing may be required if the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way or if the unit

does not operate normally. Call the KING Service Department at 952-922-6889, ext. 373.

7. Tighten all of the coax cable connections only by hand. If you use a wrench, you may

over-tighten the connections and damage your equipment.

Satellite television uses satellites in a geostationary orbit over the earth. This type of orbit enables

the satellites to stay aligned over one place on the surface of the earth and to transmit your television

programming to the Tailgater when pointed at the appropriate satellite.

Your television programming is delivered from up to 3 satellites located at the 110°, 119°, and 129°

west longitudes. The Tailgater will automatically nd and then switch between satellites as you

change channels to offer you the ideal viewing experience.

Due to the low look angle for the 129

satellite in the northeastern region of

the United States, you may experience

difculty viewing programming from

the 129 satellite while in this area.

(Programming from the 110 and 119

satellites should still be available.)

ABOUT SATELLITE TV RECEPTION

ABOUT SIGNAL LOSS

This map is an approximation

only. The available coverage

area may differ from what is

indicated on the map.

Because of the small size of the highly portable Tailgater, signal strength may not be as strong

as with a xed home antenna.

OBSTRUCTIONS

The Tailgater requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky for the best signal reception.

Be sure to place the Tailgater in a location free from obstructions such as people, trees, buildings,

vehicles, etc. This will allow for the strongest signal and will help prevent any interruption to your

programming. Point the handle approximately north to speed up search time.

RAIN AND SNOW FADE

Though rare, heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover can reduce the satellite signal, which may

interrupt your programming. Your programming should return as conditions improve.

DO NOT BLOCK THE TAILGATER’S LINE OF SIGHT TO THE SATELLITES

IN THE SOUTHERN SKY AT ANY TIME!

CONNECT RECEIVER TO TV

1. Connect your DISH HD Solo Receiver (ViP211z, ViP211k, ViP211 or 411)1to your TV using the

best connection type supported by your TV. (See your TV owner’s manual for its connection

options. Connection type and location may vary by model.)

Make sure to install the batteries in the receiver’s remote control

(included with remote control).
