OPERATION
STEP 1. Step outside your vehicle and, using a compass, determine which direction is North. (Standing in or near vehicle can give you an incorrect reading.) The more accurately you determine North, the easier it will be to find the satellite(s).

TUNING ANTENNA
STEP 1. Your receiver should indicate it is receiving a signal. To tune your antenna for the best signal strength, slowly move the antenna left, then right until you have found the position that gives the highest signal strength. It is important to turn the antenna slowly; since the signal is digital the receiver takes a few seconds to lock on.
STEP 2. Place rotation clamp in the LOCK position. This prevents the antenna from moving and losing the signal.
STEP 3. Slowly raise, then lower the antenna until you have peaked

LOWERING ANTENNA TO TRAVEL POSITION
STEP 1. Set rotation clamp to the ROTATE position.
STEP 2. Rotate antenna until pointer on directional handle aligns with the red screw on the rotation clamp.

STEP 3. Turn elevating crank (counter clockwise) in direction of "DOWN" arrow until resistance is met. The number of turns will vary according to the elevation angle the antenna was set to.
Step 2. Using satellite receiver, determine correct elevation for your location. See your receiver manual for details on how to obtain setup information.
Step 3. Press button on Winegard Digital Display Wall plate. If antenna is in travel position the display will show LL for Low Limit; HL for High Limit, will appear when dish is in up position.
Step 4. Crank elevation handle to raise antenna. Stop cranking when readout displays correct elevation for your location.
Step 5. Rotate antenna VERY SLOWLY until correct satellite signal is acquired. NOTE: Rotate 3° and then stop. DO NOT rotate continuously, even if you are rotating slowly. If you notice the elevation angle has changed, it could be due to the following reasons:
1.RV is not parked level.
2.Antenna system is mounted to a slightly sloped RV roof. (This is not a problem. When you have
rotated the antenna so it is facing in approximatly the right azimuth [compass direction], simply adjust to correct elevation and continue searching for signal.)
Special Notes: When you have detected the satellite signal, adjust the antenna up/down and left/right for strongest signal your receiver displays. Due to variations in receivers and installation methods, you may find the elevation numbers, after peaking on the strongest signal, no longer match what the receiver recommended. This is normal. The elevation sensor should always get you close enough to pick up a signal to peak on. If display turns off while you’re searching, just push button for another minute of operation. After a little practice, most people find the signal in 30 to 50 seconds.

STEP 4. Move rotation clamp to the LOCK position. Antenna is now locked in travel position.
STEP 5. Snap elevation crank into place.
CAUTION: NEVER LOWER antenna IN ANY POSITION
EXCEPT travel position.
!To order receivers or programming please call the Winegard receiver hotline:
DO’S | 1. | Do check parking location for obstructions before raising antenna. |
| 2. | Do carefully raise, lower and rotate — if difficult, check for cause. |
| 3. | Do rotate slowly when searching for the satellite(s) and check fine tuning |
on TV set to make sure it is properly adjusted.
4. lower antenna before moving vehicle.
5. Activate programming by calling programming service for your receiver.
DON’T’S 1.
2.Don’t force elevating crank up or down. Check for cause of trouble.
3.Don’t rotate directional handle hard against stops.
4.Don’t apply paint over top of base plate or anywhere on lift.
5.Don't apply sealing compound on gear housing.
