Installing a DISH 500 Antenna
15. When the check switch procedure finishes, you will see an Installation
Summary
screen similar to the one below. The information for Satellite
Input 1
and Satellite Input 2 should be the same:
• Satellite -
X twice.
•
Transponder - X twice. This is OK and does not indicate a problem
with the receiver.
• Device Type -
Twin twice. This indicates that your receiver has
confirmed the connection with your DISH Pro Twin LNBF is working.
16. Select
OK to return to the Point Dish screen.
17. Make sure the screen shows 119 under Satellite. If not, move the highlight
to 119 and press either the UP or DOWN ARROW.
Note: The signal strength bar is used to help you aim the dish by showing
the strength of the signal you are receiving. Look at the signal strength bar
while you aim the dish.
Note: Don’t stand in front of the dish while you aim it, because your body
will block the satellite signal. After you adjust the aim, let go of the dish so
that you can get a good signal reading after the dish settles back in place by
itself.
18. Turn the dish back and forth very slowly, until the signal strength bar turns
green. This shows you’ve found the signal.
Tip: Have one
person aim the dish
while another
watches the signal
strength or listens
to the signal tone.
