The antenna assembly is now complete. Now lower the antenna out of the “bird bath”
position. To adjust the antenna toward the selected satellite you must fi rst know its elevation
angle above horizon. This will be the reference angle for the face of the antenna. Using an
inclinometer on the face of the antenna pre-adjust the desired angle Tighten the Az-El pipe
head bolts only enough to allow rotation of the mount on the ground pipe. Knowing the azi-
muth angle of the satellite from due south roughly aim the antenna in that direction. With the
LNB connected to the proper sight-in equipment the antenna can be accurately adjusted to the
satellite signal. Tighten all hardware.
Installation is complete.
