[. . . ] Verify that you are using the proper cable type (RG-6) between the satellite dish antenna and the digital satellite receiver. Also, be sure that the connections are tight and the center wire in the cable extends about 1/8th -inch beyond the end of the connector. Verify that the azimuth and elevation values that you determined earlier are correct for your area. To loosen and tighten the satellite dish antenna's bolts, you will need a 7/16-inch wrench (not included). A compass will also be needed to establish the initial direction to point your satellite dish antenna. · · · The "box" method begins by subtracting 10 degrees from the azimuth and subtracting 4 degrees from the elevation values that you determined earlier. We'll begin by adjusting the elevation. First, loosen the nuts securing the two (one on each side) elevation bolts just enough so that you can easily tilt the reflector up and down. Next, line up the elevation indicator with the tick mark corresponding to the elevation calculated earlier (result minus 4 degrees). This indicator is the leading edge of the metal just to the left of the bolt. Do not use the bolt or nut as a point of reference. Finish adjusting the elevation by lightly tightening the bolts when the indicator is aligned with the correct tick PAGE 4-18 INSTALLING AND POINTING YOUR SATELLITE DISH ANTENNA mark. Make sure that the satellite dish antenna doesn't slip out of position while you are tightening the bolts. For this part of the procedure, a compass (such as the one included in the Do-It-Yourself Installation Kit) will make it possible to point in the proper direction. This is done by first loosening the azimuth bolts just enough in order to turn the satellite dish antenna smoothly with a little pressure. Stand behind or beneath the satellite dish antenna reflector and, while grasping the outer edges of the reflector, rotate the satellite dish antenna until it is pointing toward the azimuth value determined earlier (result minus 10 degrees). Be sure that as you do this you do not lean on the reflector, as that would affect the alignment. 1) 2) 3) Slowly turn the satellite dish antenna 20 degrees towards and past the actual determined azimuth. It should take about 20 seconds to make the sweep of the sky. If no signal was found in this pass, increase the elevation by 1 degree and slowly turn the satellite dish antenna back the other direction. If you have done this for 9 passes (now 4 degrees above the determined elevation), start back at the beginning point and try again. If you cannot achieve any signal after several tries, call your dealer or the Customer Care Center at 1-800-274-8995. If no signal is found, increase the elevation by 1 more degree and go back to step 1. [. . . ] This happens very rarely and lasts for only a minute or so.
