Selecting RETURN returns you to
the Setup Menu.
To install the satellite antenna, or to check the current signal level of the antenna, use the Set Up Antenna screen.
Note
Make certain that the signal strength of the satellite antenna is optimized. If the signal is not optimized, you may experience losses in audio or video, especially during rain, snow, or other conditions that tend to degrade signal performance. See the Satellite Antenna Installation Manual for details on using the Set Up Antenna screen to point the dish and optimize the antenna’s signal strength.

To determine the elevation and azimuth settings for the satellite antenna, select ZIP CODE or LAT/LONG.
ZIP CODE uses your
LAT/LONG uses your location’s latitude and longitude to determine the azimuth and elevation settings.
The Signal Strength Meter indicates the current signal
strength of the antenna.
The Transponder option allows you to select a transponder number from 1 to 32. You should not need to change this number (the default is 2) unless you’re instructed to do so by your program provider.
See the Satellite Antenna Installation Manual for details on using the Set Up Antenna screen to point the dish and optimize the antenna’s signal strength.
