Dish Alignment Quick Start:  Stationary Dish Instructions:
Assemble your dish. Mount your dish on its mast. Make sure mast is 100% vertical and solid. Calculate your Azimuth, Elevation, and LNBF Skew for your location here! Make sure you compensate for magnetic deviation. Turn your dish towards the correct Azimuth and hand tighten screws. Adjust dish Elevation to correct value and hand tighten screws. Mount your LNBF on your dish and tilt the LNBF to compensate for polarization skew. For example, if you are aiming the dish at IA5 97W: In Columbus, OH: LNBF should be turned 16 degrees counter clockwise when facing the dish. Los Angeles: 30 degrees clockwise New York: 30 degrees counter-clockwise
Connect your receiver to the LNBF using RG6 coaxial cable. Make sure the receiver is "OFF" when you do that. Turn your receiver "ON"
 Motorized Dish Instructions:
Assemble your dish. Install your LNBF on your dish. Do not tilt or skew the LNBF Find your Latitude and Longitude here: Follow the instructions on how to setup your motorized system found here.
Receiver Quick Start:    
Press "Menu" Press right vol arrow button on the remote to go to "Installation" Click "OK" If you have/received a Fortec Star UNIVERSAL LNBF, then skip step 5 and go to 6. Select "Antenna Setting" Antenna: 1 LNB Type: UNIVERSAL (For Fortec Star LNBF - Low: 9750, High: 10600) Note: If you are using a "STANDARD" LNBF (11.7-12.2 GHz), then select: LNB Power: V/H 22Khz: Auto DiSEqC: Off 12V: Off Press down arrow to "STORE" Click "OK"
Press down arrow to "Channel Search" Click "OK" Search Index: 1 Antenna: 1 Satellite: Click OK and select "Telstar_5 (97.0W)" by using the channel up/down buttons on the remote. Search Mode: Auto All Click "OK" on TP Data Use the right <VOL or left VOL> buttons on the remote to go to TP 25 or TP 26 (These have active frequency 12152 or 12177) Click "OK" Positioner: OFF (This is only used when you have an HH Motor installed on your dish)
Now adjust your dish alignment until you see the "Signal" and "Quality" bars turn GREEN in color. Note: If you only see the signal bar in RED and no quality, that means your dish is receiving a signal, but it is not from the correct satellite. It will always show this signal no matter where you aim your dish. Only when you have a perfect alignment to desired satellite is when you will see both the Signal and Quality turn GREEN as shown in the picture to the right. Scroll Click "OK" to search channels
Congratulations, you just loaded your receiver! TIP: If you aim your dish at a different satellite other than Telstar 5 (let's say for example Galaxy 10R), make sure that you use an LIVE transponder when you go to the TP Data line.
