Based on 5 minutes a day of usage, standard new
alkaline batteries should last 88 days.
STEP 19. See Figure 17. If using the SM-1000 surface
mount box, feed cable through hole in box.
STEP 20. Connect wires coming from sensor on roof
to wall plate display in vehicle. It is important
to properly connect the wires at the roof and
the wall plate. (Plug will click when
inserted properly.) The system is
designed to use a 9 volt battery OR
+12 VDC from vehicle. Do not use
both! IMPROPER WIRING WILL
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT,
SEE FIGURE 18.
STEP 21. Pressing the button when
the antenna is in a vertical position should display 24
(+1°). Display will automatically turn off after 1 minute.
STEP 22. Check connectors and cable entry
points. Be sure these areas are properly sealed to
prevent water damage.

Special Note: When you have found the satellite sig-
nal, adjust the antenna u/down and right/left for the
strongest signat your receiver displays. due to varia-
tion in receivers and installation methods, you may
find the elevation numbers after peaking on strongest
signal no long match what the receiver display rec-
ommended. This is normal. The elevation sensor
should always get your close enough to pick up a
signal to peak on. If display turns off while you’re
searching, just push the button for another minute of
operation. Whith a little practice, most users find the
signal in 30 to 50 seconds.

OPERATION (Also on pages 2-3)
STEP 23. Using satellite receiver, find correct eleva-
tion for your location. See the receiver manual for
details of setup information.
STEP 24. Press button on Winegard digital display
wall plate. If antenna is in travel position, the display
will show LL for Low Limit.
Snap battery in
place, making sure
battery terminals are
firmly seated on wall
plate terminals.
STEP 26. Rotate antenna VERY SLOWLY until correct
satellite signal is acquired. Note: 3° and stop. DO NOT
rotate continuosly even if you’re rotating slowly. If the
elevation angle has changed, it could be due to the
following —
• Vehicle is not parked level.
• Antenna system mounted on slightly sloped roof. If
this is the reason, after you have rotated the antenna
to the approximately correct compass direction, adjust
to correct elevation and continue research.
STEP 25. Crank elevation handle to raise antenna.
Stop when readout displays correct elevation for your
location. (Found on receiver setup menu.)
