Installation Instructions

OW TO SE THESE
These instructions guide you through the installation of a Satellite System
which includes your DishPro receiver (included with this manual), and
one of two kinds of dish antenna systems. The two antenna systems are:
• DishPro antenna systems which can be identified by the DishPro
logo shown below.
• Legacy antenna systems which do not have the DishPro logo.
Important: You cannot use DishPro LNBFs and switches (those marked
with the DishPro logo) with Legacy switches and LNBFS (those without
the DishPro logo). You must install your DISH antenna system with either
all DishPro LNBFs and switches or all Legacy LNBFs and switches. If
you mix the two, the system will not work.
If you have a Dish antenna system already installed, and the
Note:
dish has been pointed for the strongest possible signal strength, you
can skip this chapter and go directly to Appendix A to install the
satellite receiver in an existing system.
Tighten all the coaxial cable connections only by hand.
Using a wrench may over-tighten the connections,
causing damage. Such damage is not covered by the
Limited Warranty in the User Guide that came with the
system.

azimuth angle (the south, southeast, or southwest direction to the
satellites) and the elevation angle (the angle up to the satellites) from your
location, and the skew
