5. Select the Point Dish and Signal Strength
option.
The recorder displays the
Point Dish and
Signal Strength menu.
Transponder refers to the channel transponder
numbers that the recorder receives.
Transponder numbers are automatically
displayed.
6. Look at the
Signal Strength bar.
If it is red and the word "Unlocked" is
displayed, you may be aiming at the satellites
but without a strong enough signal for a pic-
ture. If you are using the audio tone, the sound
will be an intermittent beeping tone.
If it is green and the word "Locked" is
displayed, you are aiming at the satellites and
have a strong enough signal for a picture.
Also, the audio tone will be steady. It rises as
the signal gets stronger, and lowers as the
signal strength drops.
Avoid positioning yourself directly in front of the satellite antenna while
aiming it, as your body may block much or all of the satellite signal.
7. Loosen the mast clamp bolts just enough to be
able to move the support bracket. Slowly
move the dish from side to side until you find
the strongest signal. Tighten the mast clamp
bolts just enough so the dish cannot be moved
horizontally.
