Winegard TV Antenna MP1 用户手册

Loosen the Elevation Adjustment Knobs 
and raise the reflector up enough to 
access the coaxial cable. Do not lift from 
the LNB, use the 

 on the edge of 

the reflector near the handle to lift the 
reflector.

The Coaxial Cable needs to run DIRECTLY 
to the 

 on the back of 

the Satellite Receiver. 

*If wiring through a Wall-Plate on the side of 

a coach, consult 

steps on the back of this guide.

To add a 2nd Coaxial cable, just remove 
the cap on the 

 of the LNB 

(behind the reflector)

 and connect a 2nd 

coaxial cable 

(sold separately)

 to the LNB. 

Also run that coaxial cable directly to 
your 2nd satellite receiver 

(or 2nd input on 

Dual Tuner)

.

•Remove the Azimuth lock knob and reinsert it into its holding slot inside the top half 

of the MP1 case.

•Disconnect the coax from the receiver and carefully coil the coax back into the 

space under the reflector.

•Loosen the elevation knobs and lower the reflector.
•Tighten the elevation knobs to lock the reflector in place.
•Remove the twist off cap and empty the water or sand from the top half of the unit.
•Replace the cap and remove any stakes holding the unit down.
•Set the top half on the base and lock the two halves together.

When preparing the  

Carryout

 MP1

™

 for storage, 

be sure to tighten both 

elevation knobs to lock the 

position. This will help 

protect it while you travel.

The next thing to be aware 
of is traffic. How likely is 
someone to disturb the MP1 
by tripping over or driving 
into it? Does the coax cable 
cross a walking path or will 
people drive over the cable?

Finally, try to select a 
location that will allow the 
MP1 to sit level. The closer 
the unit is to level, the more 
accurate the look angles are 
for each search. This makes 
finding a satellite much 
easier.

Separate the two halves of the MP1. For increased stability, remove the twist off cap located on 
the top half of the MP1 and fill with water or sand. This will provide enough weight for the unit to 
stay on signal in most conditions. However, it is recommended that the unit be filled with sand in 
situations where the temperature could stay below freezing for more than a few hours. The case can 
be damaged if water is allowed to freeze inside the unit.
Place the TOP half with the reflector facing UP on the base. 

Lift the reflector by placing a finger in the notch at the edge of the reflector.

Continue to step 2 - 

.

This is because the satellite signal 
will not pass through solid objects. 
Trees, plants, people, vehicles, 
buildings, signs and even glass will 
all block the satellite signal. Because 
of this, it is vital to select a location 
with a clear, unobstructed view of 
the 

.

You should now have your elevation and azimuth based on the zip code of your 
current location. The first angle to set is the elevation.
Elevation
Loosen the elevation adjustment knobs and raise the reflector to the specified 
elevation angle. Use the 

 to the left of the knob to know where the elevation 

is set. Re-tighten the knobs to lock in the elevation.
Azimuth
It is best to 

 

 from the base and hold it behind and away from 

the dish to get the azimuth angle.

Align the compass so that the RED arrow points towards the “N” (north) on the 
compass. Find your specified azimuth angle using the numbers on the outside of 
the compass. This will give you a general starting place.

 by moving it 3 degrees at a time and then pausing, while 

monitoring the signal meter on the screen. It is usually best to scan a wider area 
until you determine exactly where the satellite is.

If you do not come across a satellite on your first attempt, you may need to 
change the elevation angle up/down a couple degrees. Continue to make SLOW 
scans of the sky until you have located the satellite.

Once you find the satellite, make slight adjustments to both elevation and azimuth 
to get the signal as strong as possible.

Once the satellite is located, insert and tighten the 

 to secure 

the unit from rotating side-to-side. 

Now return to where you left off in the 

 section of this guide to 

finish the setup (step 11 for DISH or step 10 for DIRECTV).

you will need the elevation and azimuth angles from your receiver.
