ANTENNA ASSEMBLY
STEP 1. Assemble antenna as shown in Figure 1,
except for LNBF and base/tube assembly.
STEP 2. Feed coaxial cable(s) through feed arm as
shown in Figure 1.
STEP 3. Attach LNBF to feed arm. See Figure 1.
SITE SELECTION
STEP 1. Using the digital satellite receiver determine
your azimuth (direction) and elevation. Refer to receiver
manual to perform this step.
STEP 2. After you have determined your azimuth and
elevation step outside to nd the best location for the
antenna. You will need a compass and a protractor or
another means of determining elevation. Remember
that the antenna must have a clear line-of-sight to the
satellites. See Figure 2. The satellite signal will NOT
travel through buildings, heavy tree cover and other
obstructions.

INSTALLATION
STEP 1. After conrming that you have a clear line-of-
sight from where you wish to mount the antenna, you
must determine how you are going to mount the antenna
and run your coax downlead to your receiver. Figure 3
shows a typical home installation. As indicated in the
gure, you must ground both the antenna and the coax
downlead before it enters your home. You can order all
the accessories through Winegard or they can be found
at most hardware stores.
