If the satellite dish is pointed at the correct satellite, the large field in the center
of the screen will turn green and display the message "Correct signal found". If
you do not see this message within 5 to 10 minutes, the satellite dish may be
pointed at the incorrect satellite. Try again from the beginning to correctly
position the satellite dish before attempting to Fine-Tune (or Peak) the signal.
•
If the screen displays the "Correct signal found." message, do not clear the
screen. Continue with fine-tuning the signal.
Overview of Fine-Tuning (Peaking) the Signal
You should have the
assistance of a second person
to monitor the television
screen while you complete
the adjustments to the
satellite dish in this section.
•
While your assistant
watches the Signal
number on the Tune in
Satellite Signal menu (see
previous section,
"Acquiring a Signal"),
you will make fine-tuning adjustments to the LNBF, the elevation, and the
compass setting.
•
In addition to using the Signal reading, which appears on the Tune in Satellite
Signal menu on your TV screen, you may wish to use an external signal level
meter to verify the signal strength while you make fine-tuning adjustments for
the LNBF, elevation, and compass direction setting. As mentioned earlier, do
not try to determine the strength of the signal by judging the clarity of the
picture on the TV. Digital reception cannot be adjusted in this manner.
NOTE: As the signal grows stronger, the bar graph for signal strength will become
longer and its color will change from red to green. Also, a beeping tone will
change into a monotone.
