STEP 1: BEFORE YOU START INSTALLATION

KEY

TO SETTING UP YOUR

– T

SYSTEM EASILY

MPORTANT

The key to setting up the system is in the accurate initial setting of the vertical elevation

of the dish. The vertical elevation is the amount of tilt upwards, from horizontal, toward

the sky, which is required to ÒseeÓ the satellite. This is best achieved by mounting the

dish support mast so that the top portion, to which the dish clamps attach, is as ÒPlumbÓ

as possible. That is to say: the top portion of the mount should be as perpendicular to the

earth as you can manage - this is true for wall mounting, roof mounting, any kind of

mounting. If it is ÒPlumbÒ, then, when the dish is mounted on it and the dish is tilted

upward toward the satellite at the correct vertical elevation angle, the dish can be easily

panned (East/West movements) to find the satellite.

UNPACK AND CHECK CONTENTS

As you unpack the system, confirm that all the parts are included. See "Package

Contents" on page 1-6 for a list of the included components.

Note: Keep the shipping materials in which these items are packed, in case you ever

need to return them.

Unpack the contents carefully. Electronic equipment can be easily damaged if bumped or

handled roughly. Examine all parts for damage that may have occurred during shipment.

If you find any damage, immediately call the location where your Bell ExpressVu system

was purchased, or the Bell ExpressVu Customer Service Call Centre at

1-888-SKY-DISH, before continuing with installation.

The size of your dish will vary depending on the part of Canada in which you live. The

standard diameter of a Bell ExpressVu dish is 46 cm, however, 60 cm, 90 cm or 1.2m

dishes are also available. If you require the large dish, we recommend that you hire a

professional to install it because installation of the 90 cm and 1.2 m dishes is a more

exacting project.
