4. On a piece of paper, record the azimuth and elevation coordinates.
Adjust the Dish Elevation
1. Loosen the two nuts securing the elevation movement of the dish. The dish should
move up and down.
2. Line up the elevation indicator with the tick mark corresponding to the elevation
number for your installation site.
3. When the elevation indicator aligns with the correct mark on the elevation
indicator, tighten the two nuts securing the elevation movement of the dish (see
figure 90).
Adjust the Azimuth of the Dish
To adjust the azimuth, you will need a compass and the azimuth coordinates to the
satellitesfromtheinstallationsite.
1. With the compass, approximate the direction to the satellites (see appendix B for
instruction on compass operation).
Note: When using a compass, position it at least 6" away from the dish. This
reduces the affect of the metal dish on the compass needle and improves the
accuracy of the compass.
