FINDING THE SATELLITE

STEP 1

. Step outside the vehicle and, using a com-

pass, determine which direction is North. (Standing in
or near the vehicle can give you an incorrect reading.)
The more accurately you determine North, the easier it
will be to find the satellite(s).

STEP 2.

Using satellite receiver, determine correct

elevation for your location. See your receiver manual
for setup information.

STEP 3.

Press button on Winegard Digital Display wall

plate. If the antenna is in travel position, the display will
show LL for Low Limit. HL for High Limit will show when
dish is in Up position.

STEP 4.

Crank elevation handle to raise antenna. Stop

cranking when readout displays the correct elevation
for your location.

STEP 5.

Rotate antenna

VERY SLOWLY

until correct

satellite signal is acquired. NOTE: Rotate 3° and then
stop. DO NOT rotate continuously, even if you are
rotating slowly. If you notice the elevation angle has
changed, it may be due to the following reasons:

a. RV is not parked level.
b. Antenna system is mounted to a slightly sloped
RV roof. (This is not a problem.

When you have

rotated the antenna so it is facing in approxi-
mately the right azimuth [compass direction],
simply adjust to correct elevation and continue
searching for the satellite signal.

)

Special notes:

When you have detected the satellite

signal, adjust the antenna up/down and left/right for the
strongest signal your receiver displays. Because of
differences in receivers and installation methods, you
may find the elevation numbers, after peaking on the
strongest signal, no longer match what the receiver
recommended. This is normal. The elevation sensor
should always get you close enough to find a signal to
peak on. If display turns off while you’re searching, just
push button for another minute of operation. After a
little practice, most people can find the signal in 30 to
50 seconds.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• If digital display reads EE, check wiring and connec-
tion. If wiring and connections are not correct at instal-
lation, operation is affected.
• Remember to rotate antenna

VERY SLOWLY

until

correct satellite signal is acquired.

OPERATION

TUNING ANTENNA FOR THE BEST PICTURE
STEP 1.

Your receiver should indicate it is receiving a

signal. To tune your antenna,

slowly

move the antenna

left, then right, until you find the position with the
highest signal strength.

It is important to turn the

antenna slowly. Because the signal is digital, it
takes a few seconds for the receiver to lock on.
STEP 2.

Place rotation clamp in the

LOCK

position.

This prevents the antenna from moving and losing
signal.

STEP 3. Slowly

raise, then lower the antenna until you

have “peaked” the signal (found the strongest signal).

WATCHING OFF-AIR TV

To watch the area (local) television programming, use
one of these options —
• Use an A-B switch between the receiver and antenna
power supply.
• Use a video switch, Figure 1.
• Connect antenna output from power supply to TV
ANTENNA input on receiver, Figure 2. When you turn
off the receiver, it automatically switches you to off-air.

LOWERING ANTENNA TO TRAVEL POSITION
STEP 1.

Set rotation clamp to ROTATE position.

STEP 2.

Fully rotate antenna counterclockwise until

pointer on directional handle aligns with red screw on
rotation clamp.

STEP 3.

Turn elevating crank counterclockwise

direction of “DOWN” arrow

until resistance is met.

The number of turns will vary according to the elevation
angle the antenna was set to.

STEP 4.

Move rotation clamp to the LOCK position.
