110 Installation/Aligning the Dish
When aligning the dish, move the dish only after the receiver is finished with one
complete search routine. Both the on-screen display and audio tone signal the end of
a search routine. The video display will flash the "Rotate the Dish 3 Degrees" prompt
every other search routine. This ensures the receiver has had the chance to complete
one complete search operation before the dish is moved again. The receiver outputs
a tone burst at the end of every search routine. When aligning the dish, move it every
other tone burst. This ensures that the receiver has completed one search routine
before the dish is moved. Keep in mind that once the DSS signal is received, the audio
tone switches to a continuous tone.

Aligning With the Video Display
To use the video display to align the dish, a television must be positioned within
viewing distance. Do this by looking into a window or run an RF cable from the OUT
TO TV connector of the receiver to a portable television. Position this television
within viewing distance of the dish.
Use the Following Steps to Align the Dish With the Video Display:
1. Position a portable television in view of the DSS dish.
2. Turn the television on and tune to channel 3 or channel 4.
3. Gently turn the dish right or left one tick mark of the alignment tape and pause.
.
Watch the signal strength display shown on the television screen while the receiver
goes through one complete tuning cycle. Once the "Rotate the Dish" display
appears, move the dish another tick mark of the alignment tape and wait for one
complete tuning cycle. The alignment tape on the mast of the DSS dish is marked
in 3 degree increments. When you rotate the dish one tick mark, you are moving
it 3 degrees.
