Before tightening the bolts, adjustthe skewalignment to the 90 degreemarkon theClamp Mount Assembly (see Figure C). Tighten the bolts justenough to hold in place. You’ll have to make further adjustments to this settinglater.

TIP: Initially setting the skew to 90 degrees will make it easier to aim the dish.

4. Locating the Satellite

Step 1: Determine the direction in which to point the dish. The primary satellite SAT A is located at 107.3 west longitude; the secondary satellite (SAT B) will be located at 111.1 west longitude.

IMPORTANT: For dual satellite dish installation, use the SAT B Azimuth, Elevation and Skew listings in the Dual Satellite Locator Chart at the back of this manual for the city nearest your location to point the dish in the general direction of the Anik satellites.

Write them here:

Step 5: Attach the Feed Support Arm to the dish using the (1) 1/4" X 1-1/2" Hex Head Bolt (1), Spacer Sleeve, (1) 1/4" Flat Washer and (1) 1/4" Whiz Nut, making sure the Feed Support Arm and Spacer Sleeve are positioned as shown in Figure D. Position the 2 plastic cable clips packaged with the LNB around support arm to secure the coax cable(s) from the LNB to receiver.

Step 2: Use a compass to determine roughly where to point your dish.

Step 3: Choose a dish installation location with a clear line of sight to both SAT B and SAT A based on the settings you recorded earlier. There should be no trees, buildings or other obstructions between the dish and the satellite. Do you have a clear line of sight to both SAT A and SAT B?

•If YES, go to Step 4 and continue with the installation.

•If NO, find another location.

•If you’re not sure, contact Shaw Direct for more information.

NOTE: To ensure an accurate compass reading, stay away from large metal objects. Todouble-check accuracy, take multiple readings several feet apart.

￿You’ve just finished assembling the dish.

Step 4: At the dish install site, hold a compass level and still in the palm of your hand. When the needle stops rotating (dark half of the needle always points north), slowly rotate the body of the compass so that the "N" marking is aligned with the dark half of the needle. Locate the tick mark on the compass edge corresponding to the SAT B azimuth number you wrote down earlier (see Figure F). This is the direction in which to point your dish to receive both SAT A and SAT B signals.

TIP: Use a stick or other object to mark the correct azimuth direction.
