Dish Antenna
Installation
4.
Assemble
the satellite
dish
as shown below, except do not attach
the Y-
bracket or LNBF at
this
time.
5.
Loosen both skew
bolts and
set the
skew by rotating the
dish mounting
bracket to align the
red
mark with the
required angle on the
skew scale which
you
wrote down
on
76. Tighten
the skew
bolts securely to keep the dish from
rotating.
Once
the skew is set,
do not
try
to fine-tune this angle when
aiming the
dish.
6.
Set the
elevation
by tilting
the dish mounting bracket to align the
red
edge
with the required angle from page 76
on
the elevation scale.
Tighten the
elevation bolts,
but
do not
tighten the
pivot bolt
at this
time.
Note
:
You can have as
much
as 200 feet
of cable between the
DISH
Pro
LNBF and
the DISH Pro receiver. However,
you must
use
only
RG-6
coaxial cables rated for
950 to 2150 MHz. Some
cables
may
say "Swept
tested for 2150 MHz."
If
you
have
any doubt about this, ask
your DISH
retailer,
or look on the
container
the cable came in.
Do not use cable
company TV
cables
or cables from
other satellite TV systems
not
rated
for
950-2150 MHz. These
other cables may cause
signal loss. Do
not
use
existing cables
such as
RG-59. Also,
be sure that any
outdoor
connections
are made using
waterproof F-connectors.
