LOCATING THE SATELLITE

SUGGESTIONS FOR AVOIDING

SATELLITE SIGNAL ACQUISITION ERRORS

With the addition of several new U.S. satellites, your system may encounter some difficulty locating the correct satellite on the first attempt.

To reduce searching errors, it is recommended that you use the "ENTER ELEVATION" Search method on the Winegard Automatic Positioner. Refer to Pg. 9 in the Operation section of this manual.

Elevation can be acquired by entering your local ZIP code in the Receiver Set-up Menu. Once you find the correct elevation, subtract 3 degrees and enter this number. Example: If you are in an area that requires 41 degrees elevation, enter 38 degrees in the Elevation Search method.
