[. . . ] { XE "Satellite antenna:Fine tuning" }It will be easiest to fine-tune your satellite dish antenna with someone else's assistance, calling out the signal strength while you make the adjustments. Optionally, you can turn up the volume of your TV so that you can hear the beeps while you make adjustments. When there is no signal, beeps will occur every few seconds so that you know it is searching. As the signal strength increases, the beeps will become much more rapid. Before you begin make these quick checks: · · Verify that there are no obstructions such as trees, buildings, etc. , blocking the signal. 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. { XE "Satellite antenna:Pointing" }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. 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. Finish adjusting the elevation by lightly tightening the bolts when the indicator is aligned with the correct tick 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 PAGE 4-18 INSTALLING AND POINTING YOUR 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) Slowly turn the satellite dish antenna 20 degrees towards and past the actual determined azimuth. 2) 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. 3) If you have done this for 9 passes (now 4 degrees above the determined elevation), start back at the beginning point and try again.
