2. Point the antenna reflector in the appropriate direction as
indicated on the installation reference sheet.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to adjust the azimuth manually by pulling on
the antenna reflector or feed support arms. Doing so could
cause permanent damage to the antenna.
3. Turn the azimuth cam using either a ½-inch open-ended
wrench or a ¼-inch Allen wrench, until you reach the desired
azimuth angle.
4. Verify the azimuth with a compass and lock down the
antenna, by tightening the three 5/16-inch nuts at the bottom
of the Az/El canister.
Note: Azimuth measurements are calibrated relative to true
north, not magnetic north.
