TUNING ANTENNA FOR BEST PICTURE

STEP 8. Your receiver should indicate it is receiving a signal. To tune your antenna for the best picture, 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 9. Place rotation clamp in the LOCK position. This prevents the antenna from moving and losing the signal.

STEP 10. Slowly raise then lower the antenna until you have peaked the signal. You are now ready to watch satellite TV!

WATCHING OFF-AIR TV

To watch off-air TV (local TV) you must use one of the following options; Use a A-B switch between the receiver and antenna power supply Figure 6), A video switch (Figure 7), Or connect the antenna output from the power supply to the TV ANTENNA input on the receiver (Figure 8). When you turn the receiver off it will automatically switch you over to the off-air signal.

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 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 4. Move rotation clamp to the LOCK position. Antenna is now locked in travel position.

STEP 5. Snap elevation crank into place.

CAUTION: UNDER NO CONDITIONS LOWER ANTENNA IN ANY

POSITION EXCEPT TRAVEL POSITION.
