[. . . ] Next, line up the elevation indicator with the tick mark corresponding to the elevation calculated earlier (result minus 4 degrees). Finish adjusting the elevation by lightly tightening the bolts when the indicator is aligned with the correct tick mark. Make sure that the dish 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 antenna smoothly with a little pressure. Stand behind or beneath the antenna reflector and, while grasping the outer edges of the reflector, rotate the 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 dish 20 degrees towards and past the actual determined azimuth. If no signal was found in this pass, increase the elevation by 1 degree and slowly turn the dish 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. To have reached this step it is assumed that there is some degree of signal. While your signal strength may vary, refer to the following map to determine the suggested signal strength goal for your area: Gently continue turning the antenna reflector a small amount as you were turning it when you began receiving a signal. Continue to adjust the antenna in this fashion until the signal strength meter reaches the highest possible reading. Slowly tilt the antenna up and down to try to improve the signal strength reading. When you are satisfied that you have achieved the strongest signal, tighten the elevation bolts. 4) 5) 6) 7) Typical signal strength results. Your actual signal strength may vary. You may choose to try different transponders. The transponder displayed when entering the screen represents the one associated with the last viewed program (or "02" if no program has been viewed). By moving the highlight to the transponder area, you can enter a number from 01 to 32. This is not indicative of any problem unless the variations are extreme (such as 40 and 90). In the event of signal reception problems, customer service representatives may ask for information such as signal strength on a different transponder. [. . . ] Press "TV" and "Mute" keys simultaneously or "VCR" and "Mute" keys simultaneously. ) 2. Once you have established the correct code, either by scanning or direct code entry, do not press the device key to lock in your code. 3. Press the "AUX" key to store the code onto the "AUX" key Identifying Codes that Have Been Stored You can determine the codes that are stored in your remote control. This may be desirable to make future reprogramming of additional remote controls easier. 1. [. . . ]
