Installing a DISH 500 Antenna

Note

: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DishPro LNBF

and the DishPro receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables
rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say "Swept tested for 2150 MHz."
If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH retailer, or look on the
container the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables or cables
from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables
may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure
that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors.

Tighten all of the coaxial cable connection only by hand. If you use a
wrench, you may over-tighten the connections and damage your
equipment. Such damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty.

7. Thread the RG-6 coaxial cable through the mast support arm and

the Y-bracket. This cable should be long enough to run from your receiver

to your LNBF.

Note

: See Running Coaxial Cables on page 101 for cable installation

guidance.

8. Attach the Y-bracket, using the Y-bracket screw.

9. Connect the RG-6 cable from the DISHPro S
