Using the Setup Menu to Find the
Elevation and Azimuth
The DSS
®
receiver is preprogrammed to give you the coordinates
for pointing your dish at the satellite. All you have to do is enter
your zip code. First, plug in your DSS
®
receiver.
Setup
The first time that you turn on the receiver, you are shown the
Setup menu. The Setup menu features an interactive setup
routine that guides you through the steps needed to obtain and
fine-tune your signal.
To access the Setup menu after the initial startup:
1. Press MENU•SELECT to bring up the Main menu.
2. Point to Assistance and press MENU•SELECT.
3. Choose Setup and press MENU•SELECT.
Pointing the Dish
The first few Setup menu screens describe the interactive setup
procedure. To find out where you need to point the dish, select
Find Coordinates.
There are two methods for obtaining the elevation and azimuth
but you only need to use one:
• Enter your zip code
or
• Enter your latitude and longitude.
Record the elevation and azimuth numbers. (You may want to
bend the corner of this page so you can refer to it easily.)

Turn off the DSS

Proceed to the next step, Set the Elevation on the Dish.
