Installing a DISH 500 Antenna
Tighten all
of the coaxial
cable connection
only
by hand. If
you use
a
wrench,
you may over-tighten
the connections and
damage your
equipment. Such damage is
not
covered by the
Limited Warranty.

Thread
the RG-6 coaxial cable through the mast support arm
and

Cables
on for cable installation guidance.

shown below.
Be sure there are no
multi-dish switches between the
LNBF and
the receiver.
Peel
off
the blue sticker and
place
it on
the cable near where
it connects to the

Tip: Using cable
labels makes it
easy
to tell which
cables connect to
the receiver
ports.
Inside the front
cover of this guide
are stickers that
are color
coded
the same way
as
the coaxial
connections.
