Zip Code Lookup
Push the
ZIP
soft-key and enter the zip code where you are installing the system and then press
the Enter key.
The Super Buddy will look up the zip code and the Wild Blue beam number for
your area.
The beam number will be displayed at the bottom of the screen and utilized when you
return to the Run Mode.
The arm angle, skew setting and APA number are also calculated and displayed at the bottom of
the screen.
Press
EXIT
or
DONE
to return to Run Mode
Over-riding the Beam Number
If for some reason you want to view the signals on beams other than the one assigned to your zip
code, you can override the assigned beam. Go to the ZIP screen, arrow down to the Wild Blue
beam number and enter the desired beam number. When you return to the Run screen, the
entered beam will be displayed but may not be visible in your area. If you enter a beam number
of 0 (zero), you can scroll through all of the beams.
Run Mode
When you return to the Run screen, satellite Anik F2 (111.1W) or Wild Blue 1 (111.0W) will
automatically be selected and the available transponders will be limited to the spot beam used in
your area. The up and down arrows will scroll through the 2 or 3 carriers on the beam. Any of
these should work.

If you receive a LOCK indicator, peak up the dish, you found it. Note: You may not be able to
receive a LOCK status on your Super Buddy meter even if the dish is aligned properly. See
addendum note below.
•
Disconnect the Super Buddy from the system before using the Wild Blue SVT tool to obtain
an accurate SVT reporting of the down stream channel power.
Note: the ID function does not work with Wild Blue as it does for other installations. If you receive
a LOCK status, you can be sure you are pointed correctly. It might not be possible to obtain a
LOCK on the WildBlue signal on your Super Buddy meter, even if your dish is aligned properly.
