Final Installation
Point center of the antenna to the exact azimuth direction according to your compass

Nuts
a.Using a compass, point the antenna east (left) of the azimuth value for your location.
b.Sweep the antenna towards west (right) and through the azimuth point by moving the dish in approximately 3 degree increments and pausing to wait for an updated value from signal meter. If the signal is found and signal meter is locked, go to step 4.
c.If after sweeping the antenna completely to the west, the satellite signal is not found, adjust the elevation +2 degrees and sweep the azimuth again.
d.If the signal is still not found, adjust the elevation
Fine-Tuning adjustment
e.If the signal is still not found, check to make sure the cables are connected correctly. Also verify the Azimuth, Elevation and Tilt angles for your location and the plumbness of the mast using a bubble level.
Tip
To make sure you have the strongest possible signal(s), move the dish until you get a continuous tone, then continue moving until the single tone stops. Go back to the strong setting, then repeat the process in the opposite direction. Do this until you know where the strongest setting is.
