2) Using a compass like the one shown, hold the compass level so that the needle can rotate
freely. When the needle stops rotating, it will be pointing north.
Doing so carefully so as not to disturb the needle, rotate the
body of the compass so that the 0° or N marks printed on the
compass align with the painted end of the needle. The compass
is now aligned with magnetic north.
Note: Large metal structures, such as air conditioning units
and steel beams near the compass may greatly reduce its
accuracy. If you are near such structures, move several feet
away and repeat the measurement to verify the readings.
3) Draw an imaginary line from the center of the compass to the
azimuth value you recorded above. This is the direction for
pointing the satellite dish antenna toward the satellites. Use a
rock or some other object to mark the location where you are
standing; then pick a landmark in the distance that aligns with
the magnetic azimuth bearing, or mark the azimuth in some
way.
4) Verify that there are no obstructions (such as buildings or trees) blocking the view to the
satellite, as shown in the diagram. Remember that trees that are small or do not have leaves
now could grow to ultimately block the clear line of sight.
5) Make sure that the site you have chosen is not where people or equipment could hit the
satellite dish antenna.

AGE
Do not select a location to install the satellite dish antenna near power
lines. You can be killed if the satellite dish antenna comes into contact
with electric power lines.
Do not contact overhead power lines.
Check the distance to any nearby power lines before
starting installation. Stay at least 20 feet away from all
power lines.
If any part of the satellite dish antenna or mast assembly
comes into contact with a power line, call your local power
company. Do not try to remove it yourself. They will
remove it safely.
