Installing a DISH 500 Antenna

12.You should see the Point Dish/Signal menu. If not, open the Main Menu, select System Setup, then Installation, then Point Dish/Signal (press

MENU and then press 6-1-1on the remote).

13.Select Check Switch. The Check Switch screen will open.

14.Select Test. The receiver shows you a message that it is checking the switches.

15.When the check switch procedure finishes, you will see an installation summary screen similar to the one below. In the Satellite line, you will see “Conn.” In the Device line, you will see “Twin” twice. This indicates that your receiver has confirmed the connection with your DishPro Twin LNBF is working. The Transponder line may show two “Xs.” This is OK and does not indicate a problem with the receiver.

16.Select Cancel or OK to return to the Point Dish/Signal screen. Make sure the check mark is next to 119 West. If not, move the highlight to 119 West and press SELECT. Notice the signal strength bar. This is used to help you aim the dish by showing the strength of the signal you are receiving. Look at the signal strength bar while you aim the dish.

Don’t stand in front of the dish while you aim it, because your body will block the satellite signal. After you adjust the aim, let go of the dish so that you can get a good signal reading after the dish settles back in place by itself. Do not change the skew setting.

Tip: Have one person aim the dish while another watches the signal strength or listens to the signal tone.
