You can check signal strength while you adjust the position of your satellite dish
antenna. The signal strength meter on this screen provides audio feedback—a tone that
becomes higher pitched as the signal gets stronger. You may be able to turn the volume on

Alternatively, you might have someone watching the signal strength meter and then
reporting through a cell phone or walkie-talkie to the person who is adjusting the satellite
dish antenna.
• To change the currently selected transponder, use the UP arrow to highlight the
transponder number. Press the RIGHT or LEFT arrow to change the transponder. It is

If you have a 2 or 3 satellite dish antenna, you should check the signal strength from
transponders on each satellite.
• To change the selected satellite, press the UP arrow until the satellite number is
