Installation Steps
Who Should Install the System?
To ensure a safe and effective installation, KVH recommends that a KVH-authorized marine
technician install the TracVision antenna. KVH-authorized technicians have the tools and
electronics expertise necessary to install the system. To find a technician near you, visit

Linear vs. Circular Systems
The installation process differs slightly depending on the type of LNB (low noise block) that is
installed in the antenna (linear or circular). These differences are noted throughout this manual.
Appendix D on page 30 notes the type of LNB required for each region and satellite.
