Attaching the Reflector onto the
LNB Support Arm
There are two possible antenna models that may have been included with your DIRECTV System.
Refer to the section that applies to your antenna model. If you don’t know which model number
you have, you should be able to identify it by the associated diagram.
Assembling the HANT-3_S Antenna
1) Insert a flat-head screw into one of the holes in
the face of the reflector, as shown.
2) Install the mounting bracket of the LNB support
arm onto the four flat-head screws, as shown.
3) Loosely install a ¼-inch nut onto the portion of
each flat-head screw that sticks through the back
of the reflector and mounting bracket.
4) Tighten the four ¼-inch nuts. The heads of the
flat-head screws must be flush on the inside
surface of the reflector to be securely fastened to
the LNB support arm.
5) Install the cable clip as shown.
Attaching the Antenna Assembly
to the Mast or Pole
Now that you have assembled the antenna you are ready to mount it on your previously installed
mast or pole. While the diagrams may show an antenna
model that differs from the one you have, the same
procedures apply.
1) If necessary, slightly loosen the azimuth nuts on the
LNB support arm.
2) Slide the antenna assembly onto the mast or pole until
the top of the mast stops at the bolt at the top of the
mounting assembly.
3) Tighten the azimuth nuts enough so that the antenna
assembly can rotate easily on the mast or pole.
4) The next step is to ground the antenna.
