STEP 2. Remove the two top bolts from the backup support and attach the elevation assembly to antenna.

See Figure 3. Tighten bolts securely.

STEP 3. Attach the MM-3084 (pipe that antenna mounts on) to your truck/RV. If using the MM-3002 clamp brackets, proceed to step 9. If using the MM-

3003 clamp brackets, proceed to step 4.

MM-3003 Assembly

STEP 4. Disassemble pipe per number sequence shown in Figure 4 so that you can slide both MM-3003 brackets onto the pipe.

STEP 7. Use (4) 5/16" x 1-1/2" bolts supplied to secure pipe clamp brackets to side of truck/RV. See Figure 5.

Try to maintain as much separation between the

clamp brackets as possible. See Figure 7. It is recommended that you attach the top clamp with one bolt, then check vertical alignment before attaching bottom clamp and finishing top.

STEP 5. Reassemble pipe after sliding both clamp brackets onto pipe; make sure the stop collar snaps firmly onto the pin.

STEP 6. Determine where you want to mount the pipe. It is recommended that you try to bolt into something solid on your truck/RV and someplace close to a window so you can listen/watch your TV when tuning the system. Make sure pipe is vertical (straight up and down), this will make finding the satellite(s) easier. Also make sure antenna will clear top of

truck/RV (if possible). NOTE: A second set of clamp brackets and pipe is recommended for other

side of truck. Winegard Company cannot recommend specific mounting locations because of the many truck/

RV styles.

Use (2) 5/16" x 1-1/2" bolts supplied per clamp

Tighten bolt to prevent pipe from moving

STEP 8. Tighten clamp bracket bolts to prevent pipe from moving, See Figure 5. You are now ready to aim the antenna; proceed to Operation, page 5.

STEP 9. Slip the small plastic shims over the handrail/ ladder and the large plastic shims over the MM-3084 pipe. See Figure 6.

Slip plastic clamp grips over pipes as shown (if using using rubber shims, place between clamp brackets and pipes).

NOTE: If MM-3002 comes with eight (8) rubber shims instead of the 4 plastic clamp grips. Insert rubber shims between clamp brackets and MM-

3001 pipie and handrail/ladder. See Figure 6.

STEP 10. Attach clamp brackets to pipe and handrail/ ladder using carriage bolts, nuts and washers supplied with MM-3002. Do not crush handrail/ladder. Try to maintain as much separation between the clamp brackets as possible. See Figure 7. Make sure pipe is vertical

(straight up and down). Your now ready to aim the antenna; proceed to Operation, page 5.

OPERATION

STEP 1. Set antenna onto pipe. See Figure 8. Make sure elevation clamp fits into keyway on pipe. The antenna can be secured in place using a small padlock to prevent theft.

STEP 2. Connect coax from LNBF to receiver. Optional

Winegard exterior cable/TV receptacle (WA-1024) available for easy coax connection into cab.

STEP 3. Connect coax from receiver to TV.

STEP 4. Plug in the receiver and TV.

STEP 5. Turn TV and receiver ON.

STEP 6. Tune TV to ch. 3 or 4 (output from receiver).

STEP 7. Determine azimuth (compass heading) and elevation required for your position. Refer to Quick

Reference Guide or receiver manual.

STEP 8. Loosen elevation clamp knobs. Set antenna elevation to correct elevation. Align degree of elevation required with pointer washer at the clamp knob. See

Figure 9. Tighten clamp knobs.

STEP 9. Using the compass provided, determine which direction (azimuth) you need to aim antenna. See

Figure 10.

Red part of needle indicates North.

FIGURE 10

FIGURE 8

Rotate pipe slowly to the correct azimuth

IMPORTANT

NOTE: Stand away from your truck/RV (15' min.) to find the correct azimuth. The metal in your truck/RV can give you an incorrect reading.

STEP 10. Raise the antenna so that it has clear view of the satellite, tighten the pipe elevation clamp. See

Figure 8. This keeps pipe from sliding down.

NOTE: The most common problem people experience is moving the antenna too fast. You must move the antenna VERY slowly so that the receiver can acquire and process the digital signal.

This takes a few seconds so be patient. After the first couple of times of setting up the system you will get the knack of acquiring the signal quickly.

STEP 11. Slowly rotate the antenna 2 o then wait 2 seconds, then rotate again in the direction of the satellite.

The signal is digital, so it takes the receiver a few seconds to process the signal. It is very important that you move the antenna very slowly.

STEP 12. Adjust azimuth (direction) for best picture then tighten azimuth clamp to keep pipe from rotating.

See Figure 6.

STEP 13. Contact your receiver's programmer to order programming. Remember, until you activate a programming service, you will only receive preview channels.

NOTE: If you do not get a picture, check the following:

1.

Make sure antenna has a clear view of the high power satellites; no buildings, trees, etc.

blocking the view.

2.

Make sure coax connections are good.

3.

Check coax for breaks, crimps, cuts etc.

4.

If pipe is not vertical (vehicle is not level), you will have to adjust the elevation to compensate.

5.

Make sure TV is tuned to correct channel.

6.

Verify that you have the correct elevation and azimuth.

If you still do not get a picture, lower the elevation angle 2° and repeat steps 8 through 10. If this is not successful, raise the elevation angle 4° and repeat steps 8 through 10. If you still do not get a picture, contact Winegard Service Dept.

CAUTION: DO NOT DROP ANTENNA. IF ANTENNA

IS DAMAGED, IT WILL REDUCE THE GAIN (HOW

MUCH SIGNAL THE ANTENNA SENDS TO THE

RECEIVER) OF THE ANTENNA. THIS CAN RESULT

IN A LOSS OF SIGNAL. DO NOT DAMAGE LNBF.
