AIMING THE ANTENNA FOR THE STRONGEST SIGNAL

Typically, once you see a clear picture on your TV, a stronger signal will not noticeably affect the quality. Keep trying to aim the satellite antenna for the strongest possible signal. The stronger the signal, the better your chance of uninterrupted reception during periods of rain, snow, and heavy cloud cover. Do this after the satellite antenna is installed, wired, and grounded.

When you are fine-tuning the reception, the Signal Strength bar in the Point Dish and Signal Strength menu shows you the signal level you are receiving. You can also use the signal tone if you cannot see the television screen.

The possible levels are between 0% and 100%. It is not necessary for the signal strength to reach 100%, and you will most likely not get the signal strength to this level.

The Signal Strength bar remains red with the word "Unlocked" displayed until you aim the satellite antenna at the satellites, and until you receive a strong enough signal to see a picture. Once this happens, the Signal Strength bar turns green and the word "Locked" is displayed. You can then fine-tune the aim of the antenna to gain the strongest possible signal.

FINE-TUNING THE AIM OF THE SATELLITE ANTENNA

If practical, try to keep the TV in view while doing the following procedure. Or, turn up the volume to use the signal sound to tell you when the dish has been aimed for best reception (the tone rises as the signal grows stronger, and lowers if the signal drops). If this is not practical, having an assistant will be helpful. This way one person can adjust the dish while the other person is watching the signal strength on the TV screen. The person watching the TV screen can then tell you when the signal is at its maximum practical strength.
