Step 4. Rotate antenna VERY SLOWLY until correct
satellite signal is acquired. NOTE: Rotate 2° and stop. DO
NOT rotate continuously even if you are rotating slowly. If
you notice elevation angle has changed, it could be due
the following reasons:
1. RV is not parked level.
2. Antenna system is mounted to a slightly sloped RV
roof. If this is the reason, when you have rotated the
antenna so it is facing in the approximate correct azimuth
(compass direction), simply adjust to correct elevation
and continue searching for signal.

Special Notes: When you have detected the satellite
signal adjust the antenna up/down and left/right for
strongest signal your receiver displays. Due to variations
in receivers and installation methods, you may find the
elevation numbers after peaking on strongest signal no
longer match what the receiver recommended. This is
normal. The elevation sensor should always get you close
enough to pick up a signal to peak on. If display turns off
while you’re searching, just push button for another
minute of operation. After a little practice, most people
find the signal in 30 to 50 seconds.
