TROUBLE SHOOTING

NO PICTURE ON TV

1.Do you have a clear line of sight to the satellite? Are

there trees, buildings, etc. in the way? Figure 3 illustrates the look angle of your reflector.

2.Do you have the menu from the receiver? If not, check the channel the TV set is tuned for — it should be 3 or 4.

3.Check connections at the receiver, TV and antenna.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

THINGS YOU NEED

Screwdrivers (Phillips and slot)	Drill with 1/8” bit	Sealant
1-3/4” hole saw	Tape measure	(Must be approved for compatibility w/roof)
7/16” wrench

STEP 1. Choose a location on the roof for the unit. The dish must be able to rotate without interfering with other roof- mounted equipment (air conditioners, etc.), Figure 4. Be sure the interior ceiling plate is easily accessible with no obstruc- tions that may interfere with operation.

NO SIGNAL FOUND

1.	Have you entered the correct zip code into the receiv-
er? If the zip code is wrong, you may be searching in the
wrong direction or elevation for the satellite.
2.	Is your TV working properly? Does it receive pictures
from off-air stations or your VCR?
3.	Re-tune system for the best picture, using procedure
on page 2.
4.	Inspect antenna. Has it been damaged? If it is even
slightly bent, the receiver may not receive signal.
5.	Do you have +12 VDC at the end of the LNBF cable?
Remove cable from LNBF before testing.
6.	Contact your dealer or Winegard Technical Services at
800/788-4417.
