Preparing for Installation
8 Chapter 1
WARNING
Do NOT install the DIRECTV
satellite dish near power lines,
electric lights or power circuits.
Contact with power lines,
lights or power circuits
may be
fatal . It is strongly
recommended that the
DIRECTV satellite dish be
located more than 20 feet from
overhead power lines.
Tip
Try to keep the compass away from
any metal objects. Metal objects can
cause inaccurate compass readings.

If you live in Miami,
the satellite will be
to the southwest.
If you live in
San Francisco,
the satellite will be
to the southeast.
Rotate until N lines up with
the dark half of the arrow.
Note
You may want to review the section
“Mounting the Mast” to consider the
mounting options available to you
before confirming your site selection.
Step 3: Confirm Your Site Selection
Based on your general site survey, you probably already know where you want to
mount your DIRECTV
®
Multi-Satellite dish, but it’s a good idea to follow the
procedures outlined in this step in order to make sure that your site selection is a good
one.
1. Go outside to your mounting site and hold a compass flat in the palm of your
hand. Hold your hand still until the needle stops moving. Note that the dark, or
colored half of the compass needle always points north. Read the instructions that
came with the compass for details.
2. Rotate the compass so that the “N” (for north) is directly under the dark part of the
compass needle. Your compass is now aligned with north.
3. The marks around the outside edge of the compass represent azimuth degrees.
Locate the tick mark on the compass edge that corresponds to the azimuth
number you wrote on the previous page. This is the direction of your azimuth
setting (the direction the DIRECTV satellite dish will need to be pointed to receive
signals from the satellites).
4. Raise your arm to the approximate elevation angle recorded on the previous page
to make sure there are no obstructions in the signal path.
5. Repeat this survey in several places on your property if necessary until you find the
best mounting location.
