Testing Signal Strength

The INSTALLATION screen shown at the right will display the strengths of signals from the different satellites and the transponders on each satellite. The screen displays a numerical strength indication and a bar graph accompanied by an audible tone to indicate signal strength. The higher the number, the greater the amount of the bar graph occupied, or the faster the beeping tone, the stronger the signal.

You should test the signals from each of the satellites that match the type of dish that you selected on the DISH TYPE screen.

Highlighting the Source button on the INSTALLATION screen and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will display the Signal Source pop-up menu shown at the right. Highlighting the Satellite A (101°), Satellite B (119°), Satellite C (110°), or Local Digital Terrestrial and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will return to the INSTALLATION screen and show the signal strength for the selected source.
