Model TR-3500 Tripod Mount
Model TR-3500 is assembled, and includes a carry/
storage bag, stakes, bubble level and compass.
Remove contents from carton. Put stakes in appropriate
pocket on the storage bag. Place compass and level in
small pocket.
1. Set up tripod in an area with a clear view of the sky
— south west or south-southeast, depending on your loca-
tion in the continental U.S.
2. Place bubble level on top of mount pipe and use adjust-
able legs to level. After leveling, remove bubble level.
3. Slide satellite antenna onto pole and secure on pole.
Use ground stakes to stabilize mount if necessary.
ELEVATION ANGLE
Depending on your location, satellites will be at an eleva-
tion angle between 30° and 60°. Southern states point
more toward 60°, northern states point more toward 30°.
FINDING THE SATELLITE
1. Be sure to connect the cables to the TV, receiver and
antenna before accessing satellite signal, and connect to
your power source.
2. Check the instruction manual that came with your re-
ceiver to determine how to access the on-screen signal
meter.
The signal meter shows you when you have locked onto a
satellite broadcast signal and gives the signal strength. Be
sure you select your type of dish antenna — pointing coor-
dinates will depend on the type of dish you have.
3. Azimuth value is determined by the local zip code of
your location. Enter into your receiver menu.
4. Rotate compass dial until azimuth value aligns with the
blue arrow.
5. Turn compass to align red pointer arrow to red “N”.
6. Point satellite dish in same direction as the blue arrow.
