Positioning the Satellite Dish
To loosen and tighten the antenna's bolts, you viii need a 7/I6-inch wrench (not included). A
compass _ also be needed to establish the initial direction to point your satellite dish.

We'll begin by adjusfng the elevation. First, loosen the nuts secufng the two (one on each side)
elevation bolts just enough so that you can easily flit the reflector up and down. Next, line up the
elevation indicator with the tick mark corresponding to the elevation calculated earlier. Finish
adjusting the elevation by tightly tightening the bolts when the indicator is afigned with the correct
tick mark. Make sure that the dish doesn't slip out of position while you are tightening the bolts.
Next, we'll adjust the azimuth. For this part of the procedure, a compass (such as the one
included in the Hitachi Do-It-Yourself DSS Installalion Ki_) will make it possible to point in the
proper direction. This is done by first loosening the two azimuth bolts just enough in order to
turn the antenna smoothly with a little pressure. Stand behind the antenna reflector and, while
grasping the outer edges of the reflector, rotate the antenna until it is pointing toward the azimuth
value determined earlier. Be sure that as you do this you do not lean on the reflector, as that
would affect the alignment. Don't tighten the bolts just yet!
