Using the Site Check Tools
Using the aiming coordinates located on the front cover of this
guide along with a compass and the Site Check Satellite Elevation
Finder located on the last page of this manual, locate a suitable dish
mounting position. While facing south, hold the compass level in
the palm of your hand. With the red needle pointed exactly at North,
reference the compass reading. Are there any obvious obstructions?
If the line of sight appears clear, continue to the check the elevation
angle. Sight along the top edge of the elevation angle finder with the
weighted string registering the correct elevation angle. Is the line of
sight clear with no branches, limbs or tall buildings?
Please note that the Elevation Angle Finder is only used for the site
check and cannot be used to set the elevation angle of the dish. The
elevation scale on the back of the dish is used for setting the correct
elevation angle.

How High Up in the Sky is the Satellite?
Depending on where you live, the satellite will be at an elevation
angle between 30 and 60 degrees. Southern US point more toward
60 degrees; northern US point more toward 30 degrees. Northern
Canada and Hawaiian elevations can be as low
as 10 degrees, but Central American dishes will
be aimed almost straight up!
