1. Step 6 When you have located both signals move the dish slightly to the right and left of the mark until you ve maximized the signal Then tighten the Azimuth Clamp Bolts Verify you ve located the correct satellite by confirming signal strength on the satellite receiver see page 12 Step 7 While listening to the meter apply gentle pressure to the top of the dish to move the dish first slightly downward then upward to see if you can increase the signal strength further Carefully adjust the elevation until you ve maximized the signal Tighten the Elevation Adjustment Bolts Step 8 Follow the steps described in Fine Tuning Section 8 to obtain the highest reading possible on the signal strength meter Step 9 The dish should now be peaked to its maximum Remove the Satellite Finder and plug the LNB directly into the receiver Confirm the signal strength by checking the on screen signal strength meter as described in Section 6 Your system is now fine tuned Shaw Direct 15 1O Grounding the Coaxial Cable FIGURE P The Shaw Direct Self Install kit includes the following items to ground the outdoor coaxial cable e Dual Coax Cable Grounding Block e Grounding Wire Outdoor coaxial cable that may be subject to static discharge or contact with electrical wiring must be grounded through a grounding block located as close as possible to the cable entry point see Figure P Step 1 Attach the grounding block to the side of2. Satellite Self Installation Manual Shaw Direct 1 Getting Started This Shaw Direct Installation Manual provides all of the information required to setup your satellite system The manual provides step by step instructions however skills in construction wiring and assembly will also be required to successfully complete the installation Self Installation Explained Self Installation of your Shaw Direct system can be broken down into three 3 basic steps 1 Dish Assembly consists of assembling the pieces provided to form a complete satellite dish 2 Dish Installation involves location suitable mounting locations finding the satellite in relation to your surroundings and physically attaching the dish to your structure 3 Connecting the Receiver consists of connecting your Shaw Direct satellite receive to the dish tuning to the correct channel and fine tuning the dish based on the satellite signal readings provided IMPORTANT We do not recommend installing the satellite dish on your roof unless absolutely necessary If you choose to mount the dish on the roof we strongly recommend consulting a building or construction expert before installation WARNING All satellite dish systems must be properly grounded Improper grounding can result in damage serious personal injury and or system performance issues National provincial and local electrical codes may require you to ground the dish directly and to insert a grounding
