9.Repeat steps 7 and 8 until the Signal Strength bar is green, the word "Locked" is displayed, and you have gained the strongest signal possible.
Note: Move the dish slowly from side to side, or slowly up and down, not both at one time. Loosen the bolts before each movement, and tighten them again before the next movement.
10.Press the remote control View button to exit the Point Dish and Signal Strength menu.
The recorder will display an Attention message asking whether the installation is complete. Select the Yes option.
The recorder will display a Warning message during satellite transmission ("down- load") of important system information to the recorder. Follow the direction in the message, not to disturb or unplug the recorder during the download.
When the download is done, the recorder will briefly display an Attention: Acquiring Satellite Signal message. Then, the recorder should display the Preview Channel, which tells you about available programs, channels, and services. This indicates that you have properly aimed the dish.
11.Tighten all the bolts to prevent movement of the satellite antenna.
12.Mark the final locations on the mast and mounting bracket with a permanent marker. This assists you later if you have to realign the antenna because of movement due to wind or weather.
Note: Do not scratch the painted surfaces to mark them. This will cause rusting.
