Follow these steps and refer to the flowchart in
Figure 20 to enter your vehicle’s latitude and
longitude into the system. The antenna will use
your position information to speed up satellite
acquisition, which is critical for DISH Network
configurations. If the antenna knows where you
are, it knows where it should start looking for the
satellite.
If you don’t know your latitude/longitude,
simply use the latitude and longitude for your
region shown in Figure 21. For example, if you
are located in San Francisco, CA (region #11), you
would enter 40° N latitude and 125° W longitude.
