Dish Antenna Installation
These instructions guide you through the installation of a satellite system which
includes your receiver (included with this manual), and a DISH Pro DISH 500
antenna system that can be identified by the DISH Pro logo shown below.
Installing a DISH 500 Antenna
The first step in installing your dish antenna is to assemble the satellite dish,
mount it, and point it in the general direction of a satellite. To do this, follow
these instructions:
Finding the Satellites
You need to find the satellites in the sky. To do this, you need to know the azimuth
angle (the south, southeast, or southwest direction to the satellites) and the elevation
angle (the angle up to the satellites) from your location, and the skew angle
.
1. Make sure that the batteries are fresh in both remote controls, and are installed
properly. If needed, make sure that the remote is in
SAT
mode to control the
satellite receiver.
2. Make sure your satellite receiver is connected to your TV(s) and confirm that
the remote controls are controlling the menus properly using the instructions in
Chapter 2
. Turn ON the television and receiver.
3. Display the
Point Dish
menu on the nearby TV by pressing
MENU
and then
6-1-1
using Remote Control 1 (unless your TV already displays this menu).
4. Enter your ZIP code in the
ZIP Code
field.
5. Make sure that
500
is shown under
Dish System
.
6. The menu displays the azimuth, elevation, and skew angles. Write down these
numbers in the blanks provided in the margin.
Tip: Remote
Control 1 is used to
control TV1 menus

Remote Control 2
is used to control
TV2 menus on the
