IMPORTANT!
The KING Quest Pro is specically designed to work with the DIRECTV 101 satellite to receive your favorite SD
programming from DIRECTV.
The KING Quest Pro will work with non-SWM receivers, and select SWM-only receivers (see page 2). The use
of SWM-only receivers requires SWM hardware (sold separately - see page 6).
The KING Quest Pro will not receive channels broadcast from DIRECTV’s Ka band satellites at 99° and 103°.
The satellite TV market is expanding and changing. The information in this manual was accurate at the time of
printing. If your KING Quest Pro does not operate as outlined in this manual, please call KING®at

1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a KING antenna!
The KING Quest Pro is specically designed to work with the DIRECTV 101 satellite for SD
programming and nationwide distant network local channels found on the 101 satellite. Other local
area channels are broadcast from either the 101 or 119 satellites via spot beam transponders and
have limited availability outside your immediate local area. If your local channels are broadcast from
the 119 satellite, an optional universal controller KING #UC1000 (sold separately - see page 13)
is required which allows the antenna to automatically switch between the 101 and 119 satellites to
receive those channels.
LEGACY RECEIVERS
The KING Quest Pro is compatible with a variety of DIRECTV legacy receivers including Models D10,
D11, D12, H20, H21, H22, H23, H24, HR20, HR21, HR22, HR23 and HR24.
The connection diagram on page 4 shows how to use your KING Quest Pro with the included Power
Inserter to receive programming from satellite 101.
To nd out more about the KING UC1000 controller which allows you to receive programming from
satellite 119 as well as the 101, contact KING or your local dealer.
SWM-ONLY RECEIVERS
SWM-only receivers such as H25 and higher models are only compatible with the 101 satellite and
require additional SWM hardware which is sold separately (see page 6).
Unbox your KING Quest Pro and verify all components are present.
NOTE: The KING Quest Pro may be used as a portable satellite antenna or as a roof-mounted antenna (see section 7
for roof installation instructions).

2 APPLY RUBBER FEET TO ANTENNA UNIT
Lay the antenna unit on a soft, non-scratching surface, and apply the (3) rubber feet.
3 SET UP TV AND RECEIVER
All components
sold separately.
You must congure the receiver as shown above. Once completed, the receiver will default to these settings
unless they are changed.
You must have a DIRECTV programming subscription.
NOTE: For a list of compatible receivers, see kingconnect.com/dtv-receivers.
Set up your TV and receiver.
IMPORTANT!
If you are going to roof mount the antenna unit,
DO NOT apply the rubber feet.
See the roof installation section later in this manual.

4 OPERATION
IMPORTANT!
Plug in power supply last.
Do not move antenna unit after
plugging in power supply as the
antenna has begun scanning.
PLEASE BE PATIENT!
The antenna unit may lock onto the satellite in as little as 2 minutes,
but may occasionally take up to 10-15 minutes.
IMPORTANT!
Place power inserter in
an accessible location.
IMPORTANT!
Any tall objects can block
the signal from reaching
the antenna.
Do not overtighten the coax connections.
Do not route the coax cable where it can be tripped on or run over by a vehicle.
Do not put sharp bends or kinks in the coax cable.
Place the antenna unit in a position with a clear view of
the southern sky to scan for the DIRECTV 101 satellite.
Make connections 1-3 in the order shown.
Place the KING Quest Pro on a stable and reasonably level surface with a clear view of the southern
sky. When placing the KING Quest Pro in position, be sure surface is dry and free of loose dirt or sand.
When all connections are made, the antenna will scan for the DIRECTV 101 satellite.
When the satellite is found, your programming will appear. Enjoy!
The KING Quest Pro is not programmed to lock onto the 119 satellite, so you will not receive your local channels
if they are broadcast from the 119. If you wish to receive programming from the 119 as well as the 101, you can
replace the power inserter with the KING UC1000 Controller (sold separately - see your dealer or our website
kingconnect.com for details.)

You can connect a second receiver and TV to the AUX port on the antenna unit.
5 USING A SECOND RECEIVER
Second receiver must be congured the same as
the main receiver (see section 3, page 3).
Second receiver must not be a SWM-only receiver.
If your main receiver has a second “satellite in” port and built-in DVR, you can connect this input to the AUX
port to record programs on a different channel than the one you are watching.
All components sold
separately.
If you wish to start a new scan (for example, the unit gets moved and you lose reception):
Pressing the power inserter’s RESET button is the preferred method to start a new scan, but there are two
alternate methods as well:
• Disconnect and reconnect the coax from the MAIN port on the antenna unit.
• Press the RESET button on the receiver (this option works for select receivers only, such as
models D12, H24 and HR24).

7 ROOF INSTALLATION
1. Make sure you have the following tools and materials before starting.
ANTENNA UNIT LOCATION (See Illustration on next page)
2. Select an area on the roof for the antenna unit and the location where the wiring will enter the
vehicle through the roof to the satellite receiver inside using the following criteria:
• A shorter distance between the antenna unit and the satellite receiver is most desirable.
• Make sure you have enough room to mount the antenna unit.
• The antenna unit should be mounted on the center line of the vehicle, and not tilted more
than 2 degrees in any direction.
• There must be no “line of sight” obstructions. Air conditioning units, other antennas, and
storage areas that are too close to the antenna unit may prevent the satellite signal from
reaching the antenna unit.
• Mount the antenna unit with the handle to rear of the vehicle.
NOTE: Many RVs are prewired with RG-6 coax cable for satellite antennas. Contact the manufacturer of your RV or
your local RV dealer to verify where this cable is located.
If prewired, run the existing coax cable from the prewire location in the roof to the antenna unit. When
choosing the antenna unit location, make sure the prewiring will reach the antenna unit.
If you wish to semipermanently mount the antenna unit (allowing you to remove it for use as a portable) you can mount
it with the MB600 removable feet or the MB700 Quick Release Roof-Mount Kit (see page 13).
