9. Select OK to return to the Point Dish/Signal screen. Make sure
the check mark is next to 119 West. If not, move the highlight to
119 West and press Select. Notice the signal strength bar. This is
used to help you aim the dish by showing the strength of the
signal you are receiving. Look at the signal strength bar while you
aim the dish.
Important: Do not change the skew setting.
10. Turn the dish back and forth very slowly, until the signal strength
bar turns green. This shows you’ve found the signal.
Note: If you cannot find the signal, turn the dish back to the first
azimuth angle. Then, loosen both elevation bolts just enough so you
can tilt the dish. Tilt the dish up by two degrees, and then tighten
both bolts. Now, turn the dish back and forth again. If you still can’t
find the signal, tilt the dish up again very slightly and turn the dish
back and forth until you find the signal.
11. When the signal strength bar is green, turn the dish back and forth
just a little, to where the signal strength bar shows the strongest
signal. When you find the strongest signal, tighten both mast
clamp bolts. Then loosen both elevation bolts, just enough so you
can tilt the dish. Tilt the dish up and down just a little,towhere
the signal strength bar shows the strongest signal. Do not adjust
the skew. When you find the strongest signal, tighten all bolts in
the dish assembly so the dish cannot be moved.
Tip: Have one
person aim the
dish while
another watches
the signal
strength or
listens to the
signal tone.
Tip: Don’t stand
in front of the
dish while you
aim it, because
your body will
block the satellite
signal. After you
adjust the aim, let
go of the dish so
that it can settle
back in place by
itself.
