Getting Started:

Dish Setup

When setting up the tripod, take into account the orientation of the dish, it should be pointing in a
southeasterly direction and the dish must have a clear view towards the satellite (without any buildings, trees
etc. that may hinder the signal).

1) Loosen the fixing clamp on the tripod stand and push the legs downwards.

2) Extend the feet of the tripod stand as far as they will go for maximum stability and tighten the fixing
clamp.

3) Ideally the tripod should be placed on reasonably level ground so that the tripod is vertical, use the
ground anchor pegs to secure the tripod.

4) Attach the LNB arm to the dish using the two nuts on the rear of the dish.

5) Mount the dish on the tripod and use the compass to align one of the tripod legs so that it is in the azimuth

direction indicated by the dish pointing table included with the kit.

6) Rotate the dish so the LNB arm is pointing in the same direction and then tighten the thumbscrew.

7) Once the dish is secured on the tripod it should look like the image (FIG 3) Do not overtighten the

thumbscrew at this point as rotation will be required for the final step in tuning

Mounting the LNB

Mount the LNB on the end of the arm and insert the bolt through the bracket to secure it.

Do not connect any leads until your satellite dish is firmly on the tripod
