Dish Receiver Setup - Winegard dish Playmaker Instruction Manual

Hanging on Window or Exterior Brackets
Affix the provided plastic film to the edge of the window where
antenna will be positioned. This will prevent the mount clip from
the possibility of scratching the window.
Installation of Exterior Brackets
After the antenna has been secured to the mount, the assembly
can be hung on the edge of a window or on the provided exterior
brackets. The exterior brackets will enable the assembly to be
hung on the exterior of the vehicle. Complete the following steps
to install the exterior brackets on the vehicle.
1. Choose a location on the exterior of the vehicle for the exterior
brackets. Consider possible obstructions to the satellite line-of-
sight and where cables will be run.
2. Clean the areas where the exterior brackets will be installed on
the vehicle.
3. Position an exterior bracket over one of the chosen locations
for installation, making sure that the top of the exterior bracket
is oriented upwards (see image to right for reference). Keep in
mind that the antenna assembly should be level front-to-back
and side-to-side for best operation.
4. Trace around the edge of the bracket, and mark pilot holes
through the bracket.
5. Drill the pilot holes.
6. Apply sealant in the traced area.
7. Mount the exterior bracket with four of the provided mounting
screws.
8. Apply sealant over the screws.
9. If using the second exterior bracket repeat steps 3–8.
Installing the Handle
NOTE
The two holes for the handle are located on the base
under the DISH Playmaker name on the front of the dome.
Locate the handle and the two screws in the hardware bag inside
the box.
Slide the handle in place, aligning the two holes in the
underneath side of the handle with the two holes in the base.
Thread the screws through the aligned holes. Tighten the screws
using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.

After connecting the antenna to the receiver, connect the receiver
