ON SCREEN INSTALLATION (CONT’D)
Use this function to manually point the dish to
determine 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 dis-
plays during this procedure. Signal strength read-
ings change approximately 2 seconds after the
adjustment is made. Note that single dish installa-
tions 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.
At the Installation menu, select Point Dish by
using the ▲ ▼ buttons to highlight this option.
Press OK.
The on screen displays a signal strength meter.
Adjust the dish until the signal strength meter
stabilizes at a maximum reading. The range is 0 to
100. It is recommended to obtain a signal
strength of at least 60. Refer to step 11 of the
Antenna Assembly & Alignment Guide (page 10).
Press BACK to return to the installation menu.
NOTE:
Use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to switch between
satellites. Use the
ᮤ or ᮣ buttons to switch
between transponders for the selected satellite.
