If your receiver displays the signal strength on the TV screen, use an indoor connection.
1. Unplug your receiver from its power source.
2. Disconnect the existing coaxial cable from receiver then connect it to the FROM LNBF
terminal on the satellite nder.
3. Connect one end of the supplied coaxial cable to your receiver and the other end to the

4. Roughly align the dish by setting the azimuth and elevation angles to the settings
indicated by your receiver.

5. Rotate LEVEL ADJ. until the satellite nders strength reads approximately 5.
6. Slightly adjust the dish until the satellite nders strength reading increases. If the
strength reading approaches full scale, rotate LEVEL ADJ. to adjust it back to
approximately 5.

the strength signal. The buzzer sounds loudly when
the strong signal is detected.

Existing Coaxial Cable

Limited Warranty

Caution: Be sure to unplug the receiver when connecting and disconnecting the coaxial
cable between the receiver and LNBF.
If your receiver cannot display the signal strength on the TV screen, an outdoor
connection is necessary.
1. Unplug your receiver from its power source.
2. Disconnect the existing coaxial cable from LNBF then connect it to TO RCVR terminal.
3. Use a male-to-male F cable coupler (not supplied, available at your local RadioShack
store or at www.radioshack.com) to connect the satellite nder to the LNBF. Then plug in
the receiver, and turn it on.
4. Follow Steps 4 to 9 under Indoor Connection to make adjustments.
5. Disconnect the coaxial cable from TO RCVR terminal on the satellite nder, and then
connect it to the LNBF.
6. Restore power to the receiver.
