Locating the Satellite Reflector
Use the Satellite Reflector Angles that begin on page 15 for Eastern Arc and page 21 for Western Arc to
find the azimuth, elevation, and skew angles of your location’s ZIP code. Write the angles in the spaces
provided below.

Using these azimuth and elevation angles, find a mounting location for the satellite reflector, where it can
be pointed toward the satellites.
Assembling and Mounting the Satellite Reflector
Follow these instructions to assemble the satellite reflector, mount it, and point it in the direction of the
satellites.
Find location for the satellite reflector . Using a compass and the azimuth and elevation angles,
find a location for the satellite reflector where it can be pointed toward the satellites located at these
angles. Make sure nothing blocks the line of sight between the satellite reflector and the satellites.
Check that the line of sight will be not blocked by future growth of nearby trees or other foliage. Also
ensure the mounting location provides sufficient clearance to rotate the satellite reflector as needed to
point toward the satellites.
Mount mast to solid surface . Mount the mast to a solid surface so that the satellite reflector
cannot move or be bumped out of adjustment. Keep in mind that physical and environmental
conditions can block your satellite reflector’s ability to receive a clear satellite signal. Never mount
the satellite reflector to a tree or a public utility pole.
Install struts . Install struts at this time, using the instructions that came with the struts.
Note : Struts are not supplied or required with the optional short mast.
Align mast vertically . Align the top part of the mast so that it is absolutely vertical. If the top part
of the mast is off vertical by only a few degrees, it can be difficult or maybe even impossible for you
to find the satellites. Take at least two readings with a level, on the upper mast, that are 90 degrees
apart from one another (see Figure 3). Tighten all hardware to the torque values specified in Table 1
on page 8. Ensure everything is still plumb after tightening.
