OPERATION (Also on pages 2-3)

STEP 16: Using satellite receiver, find correct elevation for your location. See the receiver manual for details of setup information.

STEP 17: Press button on Winegard digital display wall plate. If antenna is in travel position, the display will show LL for Low Limit.

STEP 18: Crank elevation handle to raise antenna. Stop when readout displays correct elevation for your location.(Found on receiver setup menu.)

STEP 19: Rotate antenna VERY SLOWLY until correct satellite

signal is acquired. NOTE: Rotate 3° and stop. DO NOT rotate

continuously even if your are rotating slowly. If the elevation angle has changed, it could be due to the following —

•Vehicle is not parked level.

•Antenna system mounted on slightly sloped roof. If

this is the reason, after you have rotated the antenna to the appproximate correct compass direction, adjust to correct elevation and continue search.

Special Notes: When you have found the satellite signal, adjust the antenna up/down and right/left for the strongest signal your receiver displays. Due to variation in receivers and installation methods, you may find the elevation numbers after peaking on strongest signal no longer match what the receiver display recommended. This is normal. The elevation sensor should always get you close enough to pick up a signal to peak on. If display turns off while you’re searching, just push button for another minute of operation. With a little practice, most users find the signal in 30 to 50 seconds.
