3. Calculate your Azimuth (magnetic), Elevation, and LNBF Skew for your location here:

5. Turn your dish towards the Azimuth (magnetic) using a compass and hand tighten screws.
6. Adjust dish Elevation to correct value and hand tighten screws.
7. Mount your LNBF on your dish and tilt the LNBF to compensate for polarization skew. The
slashes on the LNB/holder represent 5 degrees each. If you are not sure think in terms
of a clock with each hour being 30 degrees of a circle. For example, if you are aiming
the dish at IA5 97W: For example, in Columbus, OH: LNBF should be turned 16
degrees counter clockwise when facing the dish.
8. Connect your receiver to the LNBF using RG6 coaxial cable. Make sure the receiver is "OFF"
when you do that. Now, turn your receiver "ON"
