Installation Instructions
How to Use these Instructions
These instructions guide you through the installation of a satellite system which includes your DishPro receiver (included with this manual), and a DishPro antenna system that can be identified by the DishPro logo shown below.
Note: If you have a Dish antenna system already installed, and the dish has been pointed for the strongest possible signal strength, you can skip this chapter and go directly to Appendix A to install the satellite receiver in an existing system.
Installing a DISH 500 Antenna
The first step in installing your dish antenna is to assemble the satellite dish, mount it, and point it in the general direction of a satellite. To do this, follow these instructions:
Finding the Satellites
You need to find the satellites in the sky. To do this, you need to know the azimuth angle (the south, southeast, or southwest direction to the satellites) and the elevation angle (the angle up to the satellites) from your location, and the skew angle.
1.Connect the TV SET OUT on the receiver’s back panel to the television’s RF TUNER INPUT using a coaxial cable. Make sure that the TV is tuned to the same channel as the CHANNEL 3/4 SWITCH on the receiver’s back panel (for example, if this switch is on “3,” the TV must be tune to Channel 3).
