Dish Setup
1) Loosen the xing clamp on the tripod stand and push the legs
downwards.
2) Extend the feet of the tripod stand as far as they will go for
maximum stability
3) Ideally the tripod should be placed on reasonably level ground so
that the tripod is vertical.
4) Place the compass on the Sat Mat (Item D) and rotate the mat until the red line on the compass lines
up with the red line on the mat (FIG 1).
The blue arrow on the mat is now pointing in the direction of the satellite.
5) Place the tripod over the mat so that one of the tripod legs is in the direction of the blue arrow on the
mat (FIG 2).
Use the ground anchor pegs to secure the tripod so that it isn’t accidentally moved or blown over by the
wind.
6) Fit the dish to the tripod and secure using the large thumbwheel on the tripod. Do not overtighten
the thumbwheel at this point as rotation will be required for the nal step in tuning
7) Check that the connectors on the LNB are in a roughly 25 past the clock position (FIG 3). The LNB can
be turned in the mounting to adjust the position.
8) Once the dish is secured on the tripod it should look like the image (FIG 4)

Dish Connections
9) Connect the push t F-type connector on the 10
metre cable (Item B) to the screw socket on the rear
of the dish.
10) Attach the magnetic base of the elevation meter
(Item C) to the bracket
Connecting the f-type (image shown with quick release Aadaptor)

Using with a TV that has an integrated satellite receiver
12a) Using the F-type connector cable, connect one end from the satellite dish and the
other to the TVs LNB/Satellite Antenna input.
12b) Turn the TV on and select the correct input on your TV, this may be called Satellite,
DVB-S2, DVB-S, STV or DTV. Refer to your TV instruction manual for more details.
You should now see a ‘no signal’or -’bad signal’message
12c) Using the TV remote control select BBC 1 The screen will return to the‘No
signal’message after a few seconds. You are now ready for the next part of the
tuning process.
12d) If you are using a Falcon TV or any other TV that has EasyFind enabled,
click on Menu - scroll down and select DVB-2, then scroll down to EasyFind and
click right on your remote control to toggle it“on”.
Using with a separate free-to-air receiver
13a) Connect the receiver to your TV using the appropriate cable, eg.:
(HDMI cable, SCART or AV)
13b) Connect the F-type connector on the dual cable (Item C) from the satellite dish to the
LNB Input socket on the receiver
13c) If the receiver has a remote Infrared (IR) eye for the remote control plug it in.
13d) Turn the TV and satellite receiver on and select the correct input on your TV for the connection you have
used, eg. (HDMI, SCART or AV)
You should now see a ‘no signal’or -’bad signal’message
13e) Using the receivers remote control select BBC 1 The screen will return to the‘No signal’message after a few
seconds. You are now ready for the next part of the tuning process.
Make sure your TV or receiver is set to the correct satellite, for UK TV this is
Astra 28.2E also known as Astra 2, Astra 2 E/F/G or Astra 2 A/B/D
Using with a SKY+ receiver
Please note: Sky Q receivers require the Sky Q compatible model of the QS65 / QS80
The procedure when using a SKY+ receiver is broadly the same as with a free-to-air receiver with a few things to note:
1. You must ensure your SKY box has a channel list before use, if the box has not been used for a while it may have lost
its channel list. We recommend checking this before leaving home.
If you do not have a channel list then you should connect the box to an already aligned dish and run a channel search.
2. Due to encryption used by sky it is better to move the dish in staggered movements (at step 17), pausing for a few
seconds every degree to allow time for the signal to decode.
Make sure your TV or receiver has a current channel list before use

14) With the dish face starting at vertical slowly tilt the top of dish
back until the correct Elevation for your camping location reads on
the Elevation meter as demonstrated (Fig 1 )
You can get the correct elevation for your location from the
elevation chart at the back of this manual, by visiting www.
dishpointer.com or by using an app on your smartphone such as
Dishpointer or Sat Finder. Make sure you select the correct satellite,
eg. Astra 28.2E for UK TV.
(FIG 1)
Final Alignment
15) Tighten the elevation thumbwheel to secure
the dish at the correct elevation level
16) With the dish pointing in the same direction as the blue arrow on the
the Sat Mat as shown on the right, slightly tighten the large thumbwheel
on the tripod (so the dish can still be rotated).
17) Slowly move the dish from the position of the blue arrow until you
see the EasyFind LNB turn from ashing red to solid green.
Start by moving the dish towards the left in staggered movements, 1 cm
at a time pausing for 3 seconds before moving on if you see the red light change to green. If you have
moved more than 4 times to the left
and have not the light stop ashing red on the EasyFind LNB, then return the dish to line up with the
blue arrow and try again but this time move to the right.
18) Once you see the EasyFind LNB turn from ashing red to solid green, you can fully tighten the large
thumbwheel on the tripod.
19) Your TV should now be displaying BBC 1.
20) Switch o and remove the elevation meter and store safely.
21) Select the appropriate volume and resume to TV operation.
22) Congratulations, the dish is now perfectly aligned! Time for a cup of tea.
You are now ready to start the alignment of your dish

Troubleshooting
1. If you are using a TV alone then it must have a satellite receiver built in and you must have selected the correct
source, eg. Satellite or DVB-S (not DVB-T or DVB-C). If you are using a separate receiver make sure you have
selected the correct source to view the receivers output, usually HDMI.
2. Make sure you have a channel list loaded into your TV or satellite receiver and a channel is selected (we suggest
BBC1).
Some televisions such as the Falcon range allow you to load a preset channel list without having the dish aligned, for
others you can do this by connecting to an already aligned dish and run a channel scan. Alternatively the QuickSAT
Satellite nder will allow you to position the dish without a preset channel list and then run a scan. This is available on
our online shop or call 0800 622 474.
3. Make sure your TV or receiver is set to the correct satellite, for UK TV this is Astra 28.2E also known as Astra 2,
Astra 2 E/F/G or Astra 2 A/B/D
4. Make sure the elevation meter is set to degrees (see page 4). If the meter is not showing the degrees symbol (°)
press the mode button repeatedly until it does.
5. Check the elevation meter is reading close to 0 when placed on a known level surface. If it does not then follow
the re-calibration procedure below.
6. Make sure you have clear line of sight in the direction the dish is pointing, ie. no buildings, vehicles or trees in
the way.
7. Check the speaker. Make sure you have the batteries in the the correct way round and that it is turned on, it
sounds obvious but it is easy to get wrong. Check all your connections again and make sure that you are plugged
into the audio out or headphone out of your TV and not the audio input and that the volume on the TV is turned
up. If you are using a separate satellite receiver that has its own volume control check that is turned up as well.
To check the sound from your television to the speaker you can try playing a DVD on your TV and see if you can
hear it through the speaker.
Another simple test to check that the speaker is working OK and that the batteries are good is to plug the speaker
into the headphone output of either your phone or a portable audio device/MP3 player and play some music or
video to check you can hear it through the speaker.
8. Check that the compass is pointing in the correct direction. Note: Always store the compass away from the
elevation meter as the magnetic base of the meter can aect the compass if the are in close proximity.
Calibrating the elevation meter
Under normal circumstances the meter should not need calibrating, however the calibration can be checked and if
necessary re-calibrated using the following procedure;
1. Turn the meter o and put it on a at, smooth surface.
2. Press and hold the ON/OFF and HOLD buttons until CAL shows on the display.
3. Keeping the meter still press the HOLD button until CAL1 shows on the display.
4. Rotate the meter by 180 degrees then press the HOLD button until CAL2 shows on the display.
5. When CAL2 disappears the calibration is complete and the LCD will show the current angle.
