36 Final Installation
Acquiring and Fine Tuning the Signal
Adjusting the Azimuth and Elevation Settings
1. Using a compass, rotate the dish so that the LNB arm points to
the correct azimuth heading. Loosen the support sleeve nuts
as needed. (Sony dish owners loosen the mast clamp screws.)

2. If you do not hear a continuous tone from the signal meter, use
the following procedure to adjust the dish until you hear one
continuous tone:
• At the top of the mast is a piece of tape
with evenly spaced tick marks. Carefully
rotate the dish one tick mark to the right
and pause for 3-5 seconds.
• If you do not hear a continuous tone, rotate
the dish back to the original position and
then one tick mark to the left and pause for
3-5 seconds.
• Continue rotating the dish one tick mark at a time further
right and left from center (making sure to pause for 3-5
seconds at each position) until you hear the continuous
tone, and the highest signal meter reading.
4. After you get a signal, continue adjusting the azimuth by
rotating the dish in small increments left and right until you
achieve the highest possible strength.
5. Tighten the support sleeve nuts so the dish won’t rotate left
and right.
