Richten Sie die Antenne nach Richtung Süden aus, wie in Punkt 2 „Wahl des Stand-
ortes“ beschrieben. Zur fachgerechtes Ausrichtung können Sie einen Satfinder, bzw.
ein Messgerät nutzen. Alternativ schalten Sie Ihren Sat-Receiver ein und wechseln in
das Menü mit der Anzeige von Signalqualität und -pegel.
Note:
After aligning the antenna, tighten all mounting screws.
Satfinder
For orientation via a Sat-Finder, you must
connect the Sat-Finder between the an-
tenna and the receiver. Pay attention to
the instructions of the Sat Finder for the
correct connection and operation.
Meter
Via a satellite measuring device, you can
set the signal level even more precisely
and, if necessary, perform an error ana-
lysis. To align the antenna no receiver is
needed here. The power supply is provi-
ded by the meter alone.
TV-Menu
If you do not have a satellite finder or me-
ter at hand, you can read the signal level
and quality from the on-screen menu.
Turn and tilt the antenna until the best si-
gnal values are achieved.

6. Skew setting
Signals in the vertical (red) and horizontal
(blue) line have an offset of exactly 90° to
each other. Due to the different position of
the satellites, depending on your location,
it is possible that the signals do not meet
exactly vertically and horizontally on the
LNB. To adjust this, turn the LNB into the
correct position to the transmitted signal.
This adjustment to the LNB is called „skew
adjustment“. The following figure shows
the optimal setting of the LNB. More accurate the match, the better of reception.
