Setup: Point Dish

Use this function to manually point the dish and correctly align it
with the satellite(s). You may want to have a helper to read the
onscreen displays for you during this procedure. Signal strength
readings change approximately 2 seconds after each adjustment is
made.
Note: Single dish installations often show higher signal strength
than installations that receive signals from two or three satellites.
The onscreen display will tell you how to align your dish based on
your ZIP code.
To point your dish:

1. At the Setup menu, select “Point Dish” and press SELECT.
2. A signal strength meter displays. Adjust the dish until the signal

strength meter stabilizes at a maximum reading. The range is 0 to
100. It is recommended to obtain a signal strength of at least 60.An
audible tone will help with this procedure. The tones or beeps get
faster as the signal strength increases until it becomes a continuous
sound. If you have problems getting a signal, refer to the
troubleshooting section of the user manual (page 33).
