UNPACKING/ASSEMBLY  

After unpacking the system, verify that you have a level,  

compass (attached to base), and 25 feet of coax. If you  

do not, call Winegard Company at 1-800-288-8094  

between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. central  

time, Monday through Friday.

reused to store your system in when not in use.  

OPERATION  

NOTE: Disregard the compass markings, the red  

compass needle always points North. Rotate the  

base so that the other end of the needle points at the  

correctheading(direction)ontheantennabase. DO  

NOT USE THE DEGREE MARKINGS ON THE  

COMPASS.  

STEP 1. Connect coax from LNBF to receiver. If  

additionalcablelengthisrequired,useahighgradeRG-  

6/U type foam cable suitable for satellite signal and an  

FS-8100 cable splice.  

STEP 2. Plug in the receiver and TV.  

STEP 3. Turn TV and receiver ON.  

NOTE: If you have the unit sitting on a tailgate or on  

othermetalitems,itisrecommendedthatyouremove  

thecompassfromthebaseandstandaway(15'min.)  

to find the correct azimuth. Compass is attached to  

base with velcro.  

STEP 4. Tune TV to ch. 3 or 4 (to the same channel as  

the output on the receiver.)  

STEP 5. Determine azimuth (direction) and elevation  

required for your position. Refer to receiver manual.  

STEP 9. Adjust azimuth (direction) and elevation (up/  

down) for strongest signal.  

STEP 6. Loosen clamp knobs. Elevate reflector to the  

correct elevation. Align degree of elevation required  

with front of the slide bracket. Each mark indicates 5  

degrees of elevation with the first mark being 0 (mark  

closesttocompass/level). SeeFigures1and2. Tighten  

clamp knobs.  

NOTE: Ifyoudonotgetapicture,checkthefollowing:
