  C. Signal sensitivity control knob
• For fine tuning satellite signal for ease of dish alignment and adjustment.
  D. Receiver F' connector
• Connection to satellite receiver (ensure receiver is switched off when connecting/disconnecting).

Connecting your Satellite Finder

Refer to set up illustrations and connect your Satellite Finder inline according to your satellite system set up.

When all leads have been connected, switch the satellite receiver on and the power indicator LED A will light up. Point the satellite antenna towards the ground or cover the cap of the LNB with your hand. With the help of the signal sensitivity control knob C, adjust the Satellite Finder so that the built in buzzer gives a deep tone. You are now ready to set up your satellite system.

Setting up your system

Elevation: Set the satellite system to the correct elevation. Maxview satellite dishes are supplied with a zone map for the angle of elevation to aid satellite dish alignment and adjustment.

Azimuth: Point the satellite dish in a south easterly direction toward the desired satellite. Slowly rotate the system until you hear a change in tone from the Satellite Finder buzzer (if known, turn the dish to the East then rotate towards the South to locate the satellite signals quickly). As the signal level increases, the tone will increase and more of the satellite signal level LED's B will continue to light up. Rotate the system until the highest tone is reached. As the Satellite Finder only determines the reception level and doesn't know from which satellite the signals actually come from, you should check on the receiver, whether the desired satellite is being received. If this is not the case, then continue to search for the next satellite position. If you are receiving signals from the desired satellite then go to step 3.

Fine Adjustment: Turn the signal sensitivity control knob C anti-clockwise and finely adjust the satellite system so the number of satellite signal level LED's lit up increases further. Through further fine adjustments of the dish search for the maximum tone. If the satellite signal level LED's B are not fully lit, repeat step 3. If no further increases in tone can be obtained then go to step 4.

In the same way, you can now fine-tune the height elevation to achieve the best reception. Once fine-tuning is complete, tighten dish mounting bolts and fixing clamp on mast taking great care not to move the dish position. Disconnect the Satellite Finder.
