Finding a Satellite
Location & Set-up
Before starting check there is a clear line of sight to the southern sky. All television broadcasting
satellites have a geostationary orbit which means their location is fixed above the earth's equator.
Satellites also have a limited range of transmission so use the Zone maps included in the appendix
to check your location is suitable for reception. If your location is near the limit of reception it is
recommended to adjust the skew angle of the LNB to maximise signal quality and strength (see
page 20 for details)
Note
Ensure the TV and Satellite Receiver are connected in accordance to the manufacturer's
instructions.
The Zone map can be stuck to the wall if needed near the Dish Direction Unit
Starting Search
1. Open elevation handle
2. We recommend always winding the Antenna Handle 25 turns to 25 degrees as a starting
position.
3. Determine the approximate dish elevation required from the zone map.
4. Adjust the elevation handle and wind to elevation shown on the zone map. (Compensate
the elevation angle accordingly if your vehicle is not level)
