Aiming the Antenna
(continued)
Fine-tuning
the Antenna
Using
the Signal Strength
Meter
Complete the aiming procedures by fine-tuning
the antenna using the
Signal Strength Meter. The on-screen display shows a numeric value
for the signal strength ranging
from 0 to 100. A reading of 0 indicates
no signal is being received
and a reading of 100 is the strongest
possible signal. To use the Signal Strength Meter, you can:
Q
Have someone watch the on-screen signal meter and call out the
signal strength level while you adjust the antenna.
Notes
• Adjust the signal to its peaklevel to
minimize signal loss due to rainor
snow.
• YOu probably wil! not receive a signal
strength of lO0. Different areas of the
country may receive different peak
levels. This is normal.
Q
Position the TV so you can see the screen from the antenna.
"l Adjust the azimuth by loosening
the two mounting
bolts that
secure the antenna
to the mast or pole.
2
Slowly move the antenna side to side until you find the strongest
signal.
3
Tighten the mounting
bolts
(torque
36--45 lb.-in)
4
Adjust the elevation
by loosening
the four adjustment bolts on
the back of the antenna.
5
Slowly tilt the antenna up and down until you find the strongest
signal.
6
Tighten the adjustment bolts (torque 36,--45 [bSin)

The antenna is now installed and properly adjusted to receive satellite
signals.
The final step in the installation process is grounding the
antenna and grounding block.
