OPERATION
STEP 1. Using a compass, determine which direction is North. It is recommended that you step outside to perform this step. Standing in or near coach/RV can give you an incorrect reading. The more accurately you determine North, the easier it will be to find the satellite(s).

STEP 2. Move rotation clamp to the LOCK position.
STEP 3. Rotate directional dial (see Figure 5) until the arrow is pointing North.
STEP 4. Unsnap elevation crank and turn (clockwise) in direction of "UP" arrow, about 14 - 15 turns or until some resistance is met.
STEP 5. Turn receiver ON, and access installation menus to determine antenna elevation and direction/heading. See receiver owner manual for menu access instructions.
STEP 6. Move rotation clamp to the ROTATE position. Turn directional handle until pointer on directional handle is pointing in direction indicated by the receiver. Example: If receiver says point antenna at 145° then rotate directional handle so that pointer is pointing at 145o on the directional dial.
