The triple-head LNB has four identical outputs, each 1010
supporting one independently operating receiver. To simplify , ,
future installation of additional receiver(s), you may want to:' ',\:'
route more cables to the antenna at this point. Only one cable: \,,---~
is needed for antenna fine-tuning and alignment. : ! '

wraps, allowing for cable water drip loop if necessary.

~ Fine-tuning Antenna
When you fine-tune the antenna to one satellite, the other two
satellites should be aligned automatically. Plug in and turn on
" Align the
your receiver. Azimuth
.Use the on-screen signal strength meter to fine-tune the
antenna. It is important to obtain the strongest signal
[ ::J~J possible; the higher the signal strength, the less likely you
are to experience signal outages during adverse weather. .0
.With a cell phone and house phone, ask someone to relay
signal strength values to you, or hook-up a portable TV at the
installation site. Your receiver may be equipped with an
audible beep tone feature; the higher pitch, the higher the
signal. A hand-held signal meter is also an option.

Satellite A (1010). Use a transponder that is unique to
~...: Sat A (such as 1 -6, 16) for your alignment. Point the :~:
antenna to a generally southerly direction, or use the ::.~:
Azimuth number obtained in Step 1 and a compass for
a more precise starting point.
.Very slowly rotating the antenna around the mast a few
degrees at a time, pause 3 -5 seconds in between for signal
strength meter update. You should be able to find the
satellite signal first and then the signal peak, indicated on I
your screen. Once you sweep through the peak-signal point " "
