Installation Instructions

Mounting the Dish

1.Using these azimuth and elevation angles, find a location for the satellite dish which can be pointed towards the satellites located at these angles. With a compass, find the required azimuth angle. Then, use the elevation angle to find out how high the satellites are in the sky from your location.

Make sure nothing blocks the line of sight between the dish and the satellites.

2.Mount the mast to a solid surface so that the dish antenna cannot move or be bumped out of adjustment. Keep in mind that physical and environmental conditions can block your satellite dish’s ability to receive a clear satellite signal. The conditions to be aware of are: Eaves and overhangs on your building or house, wind, plant growth, and deterioration of the mounting surface. Never mount to a tree.

NO YES

3.Align the top part of the mast so that it is absolutely vertical, as shown below. If the top part of the mast is off vertical by only a few degrees, it will be difficult or maybe even impossible for you to find the satellites. Take at least two readings with a bubble level, on the upper mast, that are 90 degrees apart from one another.
