The Winegard Trav'ler Pro, in conjunction with the RV Halo app, offers a user-friendly way to search for and connect to satellites for TV reception. Here's how to perform a search:
Prerequisites:
- The Trav'ler Pro antenna should be properly installed and connected to your RV's power source.
- The RV Halo app should be installed on your smartphone or tablet and connected to the Trav'ler Pro via Bluetooth.
Procedure:
-
Launch the RV Halo App: Open the RV Halo app on your device and ensure you're logged in.
-
Select the Trav'ler Pro: In the app's device list, locate and tap on your Trav'ler Pro antenna.
-
Initiate a Search: Tap the "Deploy" or "Search" button. (The exact button label might vary slightly depending on the app version.)
-
Choose Search Parameters: The app will present you with options to customize the search:
- GPS Off/Have You Moved On: This is a standard search where the Trav'ler homes its motor positions and then performs a full sky scan to find satellites. This typically takes the longest.
- GPS On/Have You Moved On: This is a GPS-assisted search, utilizing your device's GPS to expedite the search process.
- GPS On/Have You Moved Off: This is a "last acquired" search where the Trav'ler tries to reposition itself to the last location where it received a signal. If unsuccessful, it initiates a new search.
-
Start the Search: After selecting your desired search parameters, tap "Deploy" or "Search" again to commence the search. The antenna will begin moving and scanning the sky for satellite signals.
Additional Notes:
- Stowing the Antenna: To retract and stow the antenna, tap the "Stow" button and confirm.
- Troubleshooting: If you encounter issues, ensure:
- The Trav'ler Pro is properly connected to the RV Halo system.
- The app and antenna firmware are up to date.
- You can refer to the Winegard support resources or the RV Halo app's help section for further assistance.
Important Considerations:
- The specific button names or steps might differ slightly based on your app version. Always follow the in-app instructions for the most accurate guidance.
- If you face persistent problems, submit a Support Ticket.
By following these instructions, you should be able to efficiently use your Winegard Trav'ler Pro and the RV Halo app to find and connect to satellite signals for your entertainment needs.
