Special Notes: When you have found the satellite signal, adjust the antenna up/down and right/left for the strongest signal your receiver
displays. Due to variation in receivers and installation methods, you may nd the elevation numbers after peaking on strongest signal no
longer match what the receiver display 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. With a little practice, most
users nd the signal in 30 to 50 seconds.

readout cable.
STEP 13: Connect wires coming from sensor on
roof to wall plate display in vehicle. It is important
to properly connect the wires at the roof and the
wall plate. (Plug will click when inserted properly.)
The system is designed to use a 9 volt battery
OR +12 VDC from vehicle. Do not use both!
IMPROPER WIRING WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT.
STEP 14: Pressing the button when the antenna is in a vertical position should display
24 (±1°). Display will automatically turn off after 1 minute.
STEP 15: Check connectors and cable entry points. Be sure these areas
are properly sealed to prevent water damage.
OPERATION (Also on pages 2-3)
STEP 16: Using satellite receiver, nd correct elevation for your
location. See the receiver manual for details of setup information.
STEP 17: Press button on Winegard digital display wall plate. If
antenna is in travel position, the display will show LL for Low Limit.
STEP 18: Crank elevation handle to raise antenna. Stop when
readout displays correct elevation for your location.(Found on
receiver setup menu.)
STEP 19: Rotate antenna VERY SLOWLY until correct satellite
signal is acquired. NOTE: Rotate 3° and stop. DO NOT rotate
continuously even if your are rotating slowly. If the elevation angle
has changed, it could be due to the following —
• Vehicle is not parked level.
• Antenna system mounted on slightly sloped roof. If
this is the reason, after you have rotated the antenna to the
appproximate correct compass direction, adjust to correct
elevation and continue search.
* CAUTION: DO NOT connect to
+12 VDC if using a 9 volt battery.
