Installing The Handle - Winegard Pathway X1 Instruction Manual

Warnings
! Do not place the unit in water greater than one inch deep,
or water may damage the electronics.
! Do not install or operate the antenna in winds of 35 mph
or greater. The antenna will roll in winds ≥35 mph.
! Care should be taken when transporting and setting up
the antenna. Do not toss or drop the antenna.
! Do not paint the antenna. Painting the antenna may cause
signal degradation and will void your warranty.
! The antenna is not meant for use with the Carryout
mount. Installing the antenna on the Carryout ladder
mount may lead to serious injury and/or equipment and
property damage.

Installing the Handle

1.
1. Locate the two screws for the handle in the base. Remove the
screws from the base with a Phillips screwdriver.
NOTE
The two holes for the handle are located between the
cable connections and eyelet.
Locate the handle in the box. With "WINEGARD" on the
2.
handle facing upwards, align the two holes in the handle with
the two holes in the base.
3. Thread two screws through the two aligned holes in the
bottom of the handle.
4. Tighten the two screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
Do not overtighten.

2. Selecting a Location for the
Pathway X1 Antenna
®
Choose a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the
1.
southern sky. Avoid obstructions such as trees, hills, vehicles,
or buildings—these can block the signal from the satellite.
NOTE
Satellite signal will not pass through solid objects. For
this reason, it is vital to select a location with a clear,
unobstructed view of the southern sky.
Make sure the antenna is not placed in the path of people or
2.
vehicles; otherwise, the antenna may be knocked off of the
signal if run into, or cables may be disconnected from the unit.
NOTE
A 25 foot coaxial cable is included and recommended for
use with the antenna. Longer coax runs could potentially
cause intermittent problems. Maximum cable length should never
exceed 50 feet.
3. Select a location that will enable the Pathway X1 antenna to
sit within three degrees of level. The antenna may take longer
to lock onto signal if the antenna is not level.
Connecting the Antenna to the
3.
Receiver(s)
TIP
Run the coaxial cable directly from the satellite receiver to
the Pathway X1 antenna when searching for signal.
1. Connect a coax cable from the main port to the "Sat In" port
on the back of the receiver that will be used most often.
The main port should always be connected to the primary
receiver when the antenna is in use, or there will be no power
to the electronics.
NOTE
The receiver provides power to the electronics via the main
port. There will be no power to the electronics if a coaxial
cable is connected to the secondary port but not the main port.
If hooking up the Pathway X1 antenna to two receivers,
2.
remove the cap from the secondary port, and run a second
coaxial cable from the secondary port on the base to the "Sat
In" port on the secondary receiver.
3. Tighten coax connections until fingertight, and then tighten a
quarter turn more with a wrench. Do not overtighten.
