TUNING THE SIGNAL
1. Read  the  instruction  manual  that  came  with  your  satellite  receiver  or  set-top
converter to determine how to access the on-screen signal meter.
The signal meter shows you when you have locked onto a satellite’s broadcast sig-
nal, and gives you the signal strength. It is easiest to use the signal meter with the
help of another person to relay signal strength values to you, or by moving the TV
displaying the...

-17- d.If the signal is still not found, adjust the elevation -2 degrees from the original value (-4 degrees from the current
setting) and sweep the azimuth again.
e. If the signal is still not found, check to make sure the cables are connected correctly. Using a bubble level, verify the
Azimuth, Elevation and Tilt angles, in addition to making certain the mast is plumb.(Alignment may be difficult to
achieve if the mast is not plumb.) See Figure 2B.

that there is no dirt, moisture or any other foreign material in the connector. Also check to make sure that
the aluminum cable shielding foil or braid is not touching the copper center conductor. After inspecting the
inside of the connector and making any corrections, make sure that the copper center conductor is straight
and...

7. If all have been done correctly but the system is still not aligned optimally, slightly change the “elevation”
adjustment  of  the  dish  antenna  and  repeat  the  pro c e d u re. The  “tilt”  must  be  set  for  a  given  installation
location by Zip code, per receiver’s on-screen menu, and must not be changed.
