Winegard Trav'ler Pro Satellite Dish "EL Position Sensor Warning"

I have the Winegard Trav'ler Pro satellite dish system, model # is SK2-SWM3 (DirecTV).

Every time I go from Low Power to Normal using the phone app "RV Halo", I get the message in the photo below - "EL Position Sensor Warning".

The dish seems to be working fine in every way, except for this concerning warning message.

Winegard says it's probably a false warning and I should ignore it - that doesn't make me very comfortable.

I know there are plenty of you out there who have this same dish -- do any of you get this error when you start up the system using the phone app?

Thanks! /jim

UPDATE: Winegard had me open the cover on the satellite dish and "re-seat" all the cable connectors (with power to the IDU removed).

Seems to have resolved the issue - and the dish seems to search and lock in faster!!
