Use this function to manually point the dish to determine that it is correctly aligned with the satellite(s).

The onscreen display will tell you how to align your dish based on your zip code.

At the Installation menu, select Point Dish by using the ▲ ▼ buttons to highlight this option. Press OK.

The on screen displays a signal strength meter. Adjust the dish until the signal strength meter stabilizes at a maximum reading. The range is 0 to

100.It is recommended to obtain a signal

strength of at least 60. Refer to step 11 of the Antenna Assembly & Alignment Guide (page 10).

Press BACK to return to the installation menu.

NOTE:

Please choose the option that best matches your setup.
