Self Test and Mandatory Testing
At any time, you may conduct a self-test to see if your CCN satellite equipment is receiving quality audio and video reception. Follow the instructions below.
In the two-week period preceding the event, we'll ask you to participate in a mandatory test. We'll ask you to report your test results to us. We ask you to do this as very soon after the date of the mandatory test, we'll not have time to ship replacement equipment or schedule a service call. We'll let you know the mandatory test schedule by email to your host site coordinator.
Satellite Equipment Test Instructions
- If it is not already on, turn-on your receiver.
- Go to the CCN channel. The channel number will vary depending on the receiver model.
- If a CCN program is not airing, you should see the moving CCN logo and hear the background music.
- If you are able to see the picture and hear the discussion or music with clarity, you've had a successful test. Congratulations! Leave your receiver turned-on.
- If you do not have quality video or audio , immediately call 1-800-321-6781 and ask for technical support. Our technical staff will be standing by to troubleshoot any problems with you.
