Fine-tune the azimuth angle. For the DISH Pro 500+ (Dual Band) LNBF, move the
temporary peaking cable from
Port 2D
to
Port 1F
. For the DISH Pro Plus 500+ LNBF and if
using a meter that is not capable of selecting orbits, move the tempoarary peaking cable to
Port 3
. For the DISH Pro Plus 500+ LNBF and if using a meter that is capable of selecting orbits,
continuetothenextsentence.Withthepeakingmeterstillconnected,fine-tunetheazimuthangle
(see Figure 8). Loosen the three azimuth bolts enough so that the two azimuth plates can rotate.
Usinga1/2”wrench,rotatetheazimuthfine-tunecamtoadjusttheazimuthangletoachieve
maximum signal, using the 118.7°W satellite and transponder 13. After obtaining maximum
signal, tighten the three azimuth bolts labeled with a T to the recommended torque value given in
Table 1 on page 9. Do not torque the azimuth fine-tuning cam.

to make the adjustment.
