A. Pre-Installation Homework

Verify if the dish size is indeed
adequate for your area and targeted satellite.

Obtain Look Angles readings for
your city and targeted satellite. This includes: - the Azimuth reading which
the number of degree is clockwise away from the north. (Use of compass) the
Elevation reading which is the vertical angle up from the horizon.

B. List of
Equipment and Accessories required

FTA Receiver

Satellite Dish (30 " or 36 ")

LNBF

RG-6 coaxial cable (F56-G indoor
connector, F56-SG outdoor connector if you make your own cable)

TV set

Map Compass for Azimuth reading

Satellite Finder (optional)

Drill

Phillips screw driver

Socket set/wrenches

C.
Installation Steps

Assemble dish with instruction
supplied during time of purchase.

With the aid of a compass, orient
toward the general azimuth direction and the elevation of the satellite and
locate an ideal area to position the dish. Here, there must be no
obstructions between the satellite and the dish from trees and buildings.
Avoid installation on the roof if at all possible to prevent high wind
damage or for ease of access if required. (e.g. side of the house, 4X4 post)

Put in place the dish pole on
firm support and keep it vertically plumb to enable accurate azimuth and
elevation settings.( use 2 of the 4 or 6 lag screws for now )

Feed the RG6 cable through the
pole, then mount the dish onto the pole but do not tighten the screws too
much for now. Connect the LNB head to the wire that was fed through the
support pole and secure the LNB head with the provided screw onto to the
support pole.

Complete connections of wiring to
the receiver and TV.

As an option you can use a
satellite finder by attaching it between the dish and the receiver (highly
recommended e.g. SF-95.)

Adjust the elevation to the
desired vertical angle; do not tighten the screws too tight to allow for
some adjustment...

Now rotate the dish to point more
closely to the targeted azimuth position in very small incremental angle,
allows 5-10 seconds between any movements of the dish. This allows the
receiver to complete a signal scan. A lock response on the receiver would
indicate that you have located the signal.

You are targeting signal strength
of between 50 to 80. If you have strong signal strength but no signal
quality or lock. Try adjusting the dish a bit to the right or left. Optimum
signal quality is between 70 and 100.

Set the LNBF polarization tilt by
rotating clockwise for western region (negative LNB polarization) to improve
signal quality reading. Rotate counter-clockwise if you are from the eastern
region (positive LNB polarization).

Secure the dish pole with the
rest of the lag screws.
