that it is correctly aligned with the satellite(s). Refer to the
separate satellite dish Installation Guide for instructions on
how to physically adjust the satellite dish angles.You may
want to have a helper to read the onscreen displays during
this procedure. Signal strength readings change approxi-
mately 2 seconds after the adjustment is made. Note that
single dish installations often show higher signal strength
than installations which receive signals from two or three
satellites.The onscreen display will tell you how to align
your dish based on your zip code.

using the ▲ /▼ buttons to highlight this option.
Press OK.

100. It is recommended to obtain a signal
strength of at least 60.
