If you donothire a professional to install your satellite dishandreceiver, thereare
some basic procedures that you should follow. You should also refer to any
information that was provided with your purchase about the dish, mounting
hardware, and specific adjustments to make for your geographic location.
Equipment YouMay Need
We recommend using the following tools:
• Drill and various drill bits
• Wrenches
• Screwdrivers
• Compass
• Plumb line and bubble level
• Signal level meter
• You will also need the information suppliedwithyour system.
• The telephone number for the company that provides your programming
subscription
• The channel map download channel
• The authorization channel

• Instructions on how toproperly adjust your satellite dish for your geographic
location:
- How to adjust the "hands-of-the-clock" position of the LNBF
(feedhorn) on your satellite dish
- How to adjust the elevation setting for your satellite dish
- How to adjust the compass direction settingfor your satellite dish
Assemble and Mount the Satellite Dish
It is important to followall localbuilding and electricalcodes and avoid contact
with any power lines, lights, and power circuits when you install the satellite dish.
• Place the satellite dish within 25m (75 ft.) of the receiver if possible.
• Make sure the dish will have a clear line of sight to the satelliteall year round.
Refer to the information supplied withyoursystem for the elevationand
compass direction.
• Note the locationofnearby buildings, fences,trees, and futuretreegrowth that
will interfere with a clear line-of-sight between the satellite dish and satellite.
• Avoidlocations exposed to highwind,soot or ashesfrom a chimneyorvent, or
locations where people, vehicles, or animals will jostle the dish.
• Mount the dish on a solid, stable surface ifyoudonotmount it on a metal pole
cemented securely into the ground. The satellitedish must be in a true, upright
positionthat is perpendicular to the ground in all directions.
• Make sure you have easy, safe, year-round access to the mounting location.
• Make sure to properly ground the dish and coaxial cable.
Assembleandmountthedishaccordingtoinstructions.
Overview of Pointing the Satellite Dish
The receiver uses signals that are broadcastfrom a satellite located in a stationary
orbit 22,500 miles above the equator. It is important to accurately point your
satellite dishatt he satelliteor you maylosethe signal during inclementweather or
when minor interference is present. When you point the satellite dish, you will be
concernedwithup to three kinds of adjustments dependingupon your geographic
location:
• First, if your satellite transmits signals eitherhorizontally or vertically, you
must adjust the position of the LNBF so thatit is properlyaligned to receive
these horizontal or vertical signals.
• Second, adjust the elevation of the satellite dish.
• Third, adjust the compass direction.

Installation
Initial Adjustment to the LNBF
You will need to mount and make aninitial adjustment to thelownoiseblock feed
(LNBF or feedhorn)so thatit is in the correct position for the city (or geographic
location) in which you live. Refer to the information supplied with your system.
While youare facing thefront of the satellite dish,mount the LNBF inthe housing
as indicated in the instructionsforyour dish. If necessary, loosen the clamp
screw(s).
• As you look at the LNBF,tryto think of its position in termsofthe handsof a
clock.Inparticular,try to think oftheLNBF's F connector(thepoint where the
wires attach) as the hour hand pointingto one of the numbers on the face of a
clock. Point the LNBF as indicated in your instructions.
• Once you have correctlypointed the LNBF, tighten the LNBF clamp screw(s),
but don't tighten them completely.You may need to make a slight adjustment
lateron.
Initial Adjustment to the Elevation Setting
Now you will need to make an initial adjustment to the elevationsetting of the
satellite dish—the distance above the horizon to which it points. Your dishmountingbracket may have a scale marker.
• Refer to the informationsupplied with your system,and set the elevation that
is appropriate for the city in which you live.
• If the information suppliedwithyoursystem does not list a city within a few
miles of your location, choosethenearest city to your location. Then
determinehow far you are locatedto the north or south of that city. Since the
elevationsetting for your locationwillchange by approximatelyonedegree
for every 160.9 km (100 miles) that you are north or south of the equator, you
can adjust the satellite dish elevation in the following way:
- Add one degree for every 160.9km (100 miles)that your location is
farther away from the equator than the listed city.
- Subtract onedegreefor every 160.9km (100 miles)that yourlocation is
closer to the equator than the listed city.
• Your adjustmentsmustbe accurate within one-half of a degree,which can be
as little as 1 mm (1⁄32"). So use great care in adjusting this setting.
• Once you correctly set the elevation setting, tightenthenut(s) just enough to
hold the dish in place.
DSR405 User Guide19

Initial Adjustment to the Compass
Direction Setting
To make an initial adjustment to the compass orientation of the satellite:
• Use the wrench to loosen the bolt(s) so that you can turn the satellite dish on
the mounting pole to change its compass direction. Then point the dish so that
it faces directly south (if you are in the Northern Hemisphere) or directly north
(if you are in the Southern Hemisphere).
• Refer to the information supplied with your system, and again find the
compasssetting (alsocalled theazimuth)for thecity nearestto whereyoulive.
It is measured in degrees.
• Turn the satellitedish so that the LNBF support is pointing to the correct
degree setting. To do this, use a compass to determine the correct direction.
Then mark the position for the compass setting about 5 meters (15 feet) away
from the satellite dish. Point the satellite dish as accurately as possibletoward
the marker.
• Choose the nearest city to your location(the sameone you chose when you
adjustedthe LNBF position and the elevation). Then determine how far you
are located to the east or west of that city. Since the compasssetting for your
locationwillchange by approximatelyonedegree for every 160.9 km (100
miles) that youareeastor west of the listed city, you can adjust the satellite
dish compass setting in the following ways:
• If you are located in the Northern Hemisphere:
- If your location is east of the listed city, compensate by moving the dish
clockwise by one degree for every 160.9 km (100 miles) that you are
eastof the listed city.
- If your location is west of the listed city, compensate by moving the
dish counterclockwise by one degree for every 160.9 km (100 miles)
that you are west of the listed city.
• If you are located in the Southern Hemisphere:
- If your location is east of the listed city, compensate by moving the dish
counterclockwiseby one degree for every 160.9 km (100 miles) that
you are east of the listed city.
- If your location is west of the listed city, compensate by moving the
dish clockwise by one degree for every 160.9 km (100 miles) that you
are west of the listed city.
• Tighten the bolt(s) on the mounting pole enough to hold the position in place
so that you can still move it a little at a time. You will fine-tune its position
later.
