INSTALLING A DISH 500 ANTENNA
Whether you are installing a DishPro or Legacy system, you need to
assemble the satellite dish, mount it, and point it in the general
direction of a satellite. To do this, follow these instructions.
FINDING THE SATELLITES
To find the satellites in the sky, you need to know the azimuth (the
south, southeast, or southwest direction to the satellites), elevation
(the angle up to the satellites), and the skew angles from your
location.
Do the following to get these angles:
1. Connect the TV Set Out port on the receiver’s back panel to the
television’s RF Tuner Input using a coaxial cable. Make sure
that the TV is tuned to the same channel as the Channel 3/4
Switch on the receiver’s back panel (for example, if this switch is
at “3,” the TV must be tuned to Channel 3).
Note: You may choose other connections between your receiver
and TV. See page 13 for more information.
2. Make sure that the remote control batteries are fresh, and are
installed properly. Press the SAT mode button on the remote to
make sure the remote is in SAT mode to control the satellite
receiver.
3. Turn ON the television and receiver.
4. Go to the
Point Dish/Signal menu, by opening the Main Menu
and pressing 6-1-1 (unless the receiver already displays this
menu).
5. Enter your ZIP code in the
ZIP Code field.
Tip: When you
select the Dish
500 option, you
will see the Dish
500 angles. Oth-
erwise, the
angles for the
Dish 300 are dis-
played.
