- 1). Clear the prospective mounting area for the AU9-SL3 satellite dish. Ensure that there is no debris and that a clear line of sight can be established to the sky above. Power lines and large trees should not be nearby to interfere with your satellite signal.
- 2). Use a power drill to mount the AU9-SL3 satellite dish. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and will be flush against the bottom of the dish, once it is mounted. You will see the holes for the mounting bolts in the base of the satellite dish. Use a power drill to insert the included mounting bolts to secure the dish.
- 3). Run the coaxial cable out of the back of the dish’s mast, where it resides, and inside to your satellite receiver, which should be positioned right beside or atop your television. Plug the coaxial cable into the back of the receiver via the “ANT IN” port.
- 4). Turn on the AU9-SL3 satellite receiver and your TV. After a few moments the receiver’s menu screen will pop up on your television screen. Select the “Signal Meter Screen” listing from this menu. Return to the AU9-SL3 satellite dish outside and have a friend stay with the signal meter screen.
- 5). Make correctional elevation adjustments to the AU9-SL3 satellite dish. Elevation adjustments are incremental up/down adjustments to the dish itself that are guided by the signal meter screen. After each slight adjustment, wait five to seven seconds for an update from your buddy at the meter screen. This screen actively tracks the orientation of the dish in relation to the proper coordinates that it must reach in the sky above in order to have a full, strong signal. Make continued elevation adjustments as suggested.
- 6). Make correctional azimuth adjustments to the AU9-SL3 satellite dish. Azimuth adjustments are incremental left/right adjustments to the dish that also are guided by the signal meter screen. These should be made every five to seven seconds. Make continued azimuth adjustments to the dish as the signal meter screen prescribes, until you find the best positioning. This will complete the AU9-SL3 satellite dish installation.
