Find Your Dish Pointing Coordinates

If you already know your dish pointing coordinates and have placed
your dish, you can proceed to the next step in this book, "Using the On-
screen Signal Meter." If not, you only need to use one of the available
methods (ZIP Code, City, Latitude/Longitude) to find your dish pointing
coordinates.
Follow these steps to obtain your dish pointing coordinates using the ZIP
Code of the dish installation location:
1. Press MENU on the remote control to bring up the Main menu.
2. Use the arrows to highlight Dish Pointing, then press OK to access
the dish pointing screen.
3. Use the arrows on the remote control or the front panel to
highlight Enter ZIP Code, then press OK.
4. Enter the ZIP Code for the satellite dish antenna installation
location.
After you enter your ZIP Code, your dish pointing
coordinates will appear on-screen.
5. Record the elevation, azimuth, and tilt (oval satellite dish only)
numbers below.
Elevation _____________
Tilt (oval satellite dish only) _____________________
Azimuth ___________
Azimuth is the side-to-side direction
that the satellite dish antenna is
pointed.
Elevation is the up/down angle that
the satellite dish antenna is pointed.
Tilt is the circular rotation of the dish
itself, like the motion of a steering
wheel.
