INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECEIVING A SIGNAL
STEP 1. After assembling the antenna, make sure it is
resting on a flat level surface.
STEP 2. Determine the azimuth (direction) and elevation
angle (up/down) by entering your zip code into the appro-
priate set-up menu on your receiver.
STEP 3. To set the elevation angle (up/down), loosen the
knob on the “elevation bolt” and elevate the “dish bracket”
to the correct angle shown on the menu screen, by lining
up the colored edge on the clamp with the degree mark-
ing.
STEP 4. Using a compass, rotate the base slowly until
the center of the dish faces the desired azimuth angle
(direction) shown on the menu screen. The signal is digi-
tal; you must wait a few seconds after each move to
allow the receiver to process the signal.
STEP 5. Adjust azimuth (direction) and elevation (up/down)
for strongest signal.
