Installation Instructions
Chapter 4
13. Open the Main Menu andpress6-1-1ontheremotetoagain
open the Point Dish/Signal menu. Select Check Switch and
then select Check. The receiver will check your multi-switch
installation. After the system checks the installation, you will see
the Installation Summary screen. Make sure that the correct
switch is displayed and that you have “Satellite reception
verified” from both the 110 West and 119 West satellites.
14. At the Point Dish/Signal menu, select the 110 West option.
Verify that you have a green signal strength bar with a locked
signal.
• If the signal from the 110 West satellite is weak and you do
not see a green signal strength bar, repeat steps #8 and #9 to
fine-tune the dish until you have the best attainable signal
strength for both the 119 West and 110 West satellites.
• If there is no signal strength on 110 West, check your
connections and select Check Switch again. If there is still
no signal strength, check to make sure your skew angle is
correct, and start over, beginning with step #7 until you have
a good signal from both the 110 West and 119 West
satellites.
15. Connect any other receivers in the system, verify signal reception
from the Point Dish menu. Turn the receivers OFF so they can
take the software upgrade, and then run Check Switch to verify
signal reception from all satellites.
INSTALLING A LEGACY SYSTEM WITH A TWIN LNBF
Note: If you are installing a Legacy (non-DishPro) LNBF (that
does not have a DishPro logo), you can have up to 100 feet of
cable between the satellite dish’s LNBF connectors and the
receiver, if you use only RG-6 cables. Also, be sure that any
outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors.
1. After you mount the dish, in accordance with the instructions
Installing a DISH 500 Antenna that begin on page 63, thread the
coaxial cable through the support arm, mast (optional), and the Y-
bracket. If you are planning on adding a second satellite receiver,
thread another cable through the support arm and the Y-bracket.
The cable should be long enough to reach from the LNBF on the
satellite dish to the receiver (refer to Grounding the System
beginning on page 94 or detailed cabling instructions).
