After connecting the antenna to the receiver(s), connect the receiver to a power source, and complete receiver setup. Receiver setup for the primary receiver follows; if setting up with a secondary receiver, see “Receiver Setup for a Secondary Receiver” on page 5.

Check out online receiver setup guides for your antenna at www.winegard.com/receivers/setupguide.php.

If using a brand new receiver, follow the steps under “Receiver Setup for New Receivers.” If using a receiver that is currently active or has been previously used, follow the steps under “Receiver Setup for Currently Active or Previously Used Receivers.”

Receiver Setup for New Receivers

If using a new receiver with the Pathway X1 antenna, the receiver will go through an Installation Wizard to help with the setup process.

1.Follow the on-screen instructions to program the remote control.

2.During step 2 of the Installation Wizard, the unit will need to acquire satellites and update the receiver (see fig. 1).

Figure 1

This step will require a search initiated by the Mobile Setup screen. Fill in the required information, and then select “Scan” to begin the search routine (see fig. 2).

3.During the search routine, the antenna will scan for satellites. The antenna may make a slight grinding sound when searching for satellites; this is normal and does not harm the unit. Once the search routine is complete, the receiver will update.

4.The receiver may reboot automatically as part of the update process. If so, select the state of your current location on the Mobile Antenna Setup screen as in figure 2. Press “Scan” to begin the search routine.

5.The satellite will search for and acquire satellites.

6.If not already activated, the receiver will need to be activated (see fig. 3). To activate the receiver, call Winegard Company at 1-866-609-9374.

7.After the receiver has been activated, the receiver will begin acquiring signal (see fig. 4) and downloading the Electronic Programming Guide (see fig. 5). Once the download is complete, you can start watching TV.
