- 1). Remove the battery compartment lid on the back of the signal meter. Insert a fresh battery into the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment lid.
- 2). Position the signal meter against the side of the bracket holding the Dish 500 so that the needle meter panel is facing you. Tape the signal meter to the side of the bracket with duct tape.
- 3). Unscrew the cables connected to the coax input on the multidish switch that is also taped to the side of the Dish 500. Connect the free end of one of the cables to the coax input on the top of the signal meter.
- 4). Screw one end of the three-foot coaxial cable into the coax output on the signal meter. Screw the other end of the coaxial cable into one of the coax inputs on the multidish switch.
- 5). Turn the signal meter on. Loosen the two knobs on the side of the bracket. Raise and lower the dish from the bracket while watching the meter on the signal meter. Stop moving the dish when the needle reaches its high point on the scale pasted inside the panel. Tighten the knobs on the side of the bracket so that they are "finger-tight."
- 6). Unscrew the coax cable connected to the signal meter and replace it with another coaxial cable that was connected to the multidish switch. Watch the needle as you move the dish, stopping when the needle has reached its zenith. Repeat this procedure with all of the rest of the coaxial cables that were attached to the multidish switch. Tighten the knobs when you are done.
- 7). Unscrew the coaxial cables connected to the signal meter. Unscrew the coaxial cable from the coax input on the multidish switch. Screw the coaxial cables that were removed from the coax inputs on the multidish switch back in.
- 8). Turn the signal meter off. Remove the duct tape from the signal meter and the bracket.
