CAUTION:
If using +12 VDC, it must be FILTERED!
If using non-filtered +12 VDC, the product will be
damaged and Warranty voided.
STEP 8: Connect wires coming from sensor on roof to
wall plate display in vehicle, Figure 8. It is important to
properly connect the wires at the roof and the wall plate.
(Plug will click when inserted properly.) The system is
designed to use a 9 volt battery OR +12 VDC from
vehicle. Do not use both! IMPROPER WIRING WILL
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT.

STEP 9: Pressing the button when the antenna is in a
vertical position should display 24 (can be plus [+] or
minus [-] 1 degree). Display will automatically turn off
after 1 minute.
STEP 10: Check connectors and cable entry points. Be
sure these areas are properly sealed to prevent water
damage to the system and property.
ERROR CODES on display
LL ............... Low Limit
(antenna too low)
HL .............. High Limit
(antenna past range of readout)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: Using satellite receiver, find correct elevation
for your location. See the receiver manual for details of
setup information.
STEP 2: Press button on Winegard digital display wall
plate. If antenna is in travel position, the display will
show HL for High Limit (RD models), LL for Low Limit
(RM models).
STEP 3: Crank elevation handle to raise antenna. Stop
when readout displays correct elevation for your
location.(Found on receiver setup menu.)
STEP 4: Rotate antenna VERY SLOWLY until correct
satellite signal is acquired. NOTE: Rotate 3° and stop.
DO NOT rotate continuously even if your are rotating
slowly. If the elevation angle has changed, it could be due
to the following —
• Vehicle is not parked level.
• Antenna system mounted on slightly sloped roof. If
this is the reason, after you have rotated the antenna
to the appproximate correct compass direction, adjust
to correct elevation and continue search.
Special Notes: When you have found the satellite signal,
adjust the antenna up/down and right/left for the stron-
gest signal your receiver displays. Due to variation in
receivers and installation methods, you may find the
elevation numbers after peaking on strongest signal no
longer match what the receiver display recommended.
This is normal. The elevation sensor should always get
you close enough to pick up a signal to peak on. If
display turns off while you’re searching, just push button
for another minute of operation. With a little practice,
most users find the signal in 30 to 50 seconds.
