INSTALLING AND POINTING YOUR SATELLITE DISH ANTENNA
4) To have reached this step it is assumed that there is some degree of signal. A numeric value
for the strength ranges from 0 to 99. While your signal strength may vary, refer to the
following map to determine the suggested signal strength goal for your area:
Typical signal strength results. Your actual signal strength may vary.
5) Gently continue turning the satellite dish antenna reflector a small amount as you were
turning it when you began receiving a signal. Continue to adjust the satellite dish antenna in
this fashion until the signal strength meter reaches the highest possible reading. Tighten the
azimuth bolts.
6) Slowly tilt the satellite dish antenna up and down to try to improve the signal strength reading.
When you are satisfied that you have achieved the strongest signal, tighten the elevation bolts.
You may choose to try different transponders. Each transponder transmits multiple programs at a
time. The transponder displayed when entering the screen represents the one associated with the
last viewed program (or "02" if no program has been viewed). By moving the highlight to the
transponder area, you can enter a number from 01 to 32. Different transponders may show varying
signal strengths. This is not indicative of any problem unless the variations are extreme (such as
40 and 90). In the event of signal reception problems, customer service representatives may ask
for information such as signal strength on a different transponder. Do not change transponders
trying to find the best signal since the transponder will automatically change to the one that
corresponds with the satellite channels that you view.
