Final Installation
Tip
To make sure you have the
strongest possible signal(s), move
the dish until you get a
continuous tone, then continue
moving until the single tone
stops. Go back to the strong
setting, then repeat the process
in the opposite direction. Do this
until you know where the
strongest setting is.

Point center of the antenna
to the exact azimuth direction
according to your compass
a. Using a compass, point the antenna east (left) of the azimuth value for
your location.
b. Sweep the antenna towards west (right) and through the azimuth point by
moving the dish in approximately 3 degree increments and pausing to
wait for an updated value from signal meter. If the signal is found and
signal meter is locked, go to step 4.
c. If after sweeping the antenna completely to the west, the satellite signal is
not found, adjust the elevation +2 degrees and sweep the azimuth again.
d. If the signal is still not found, adjust the elevation -2 degrees from the
original value (-4 degrees from current setting) and sweep the azimuth
again.
e. If the signal is still not found, check to make sure the cables are
connected correctly. Also verify the Azimuth, Elevation and Tilt angles for
your location and the plumbness of the mast using a bubble level.
