APPLY RUBBER FEET TO ANTENNA UNIT
ABOUT SIGNAL LOSS
Because of the small size of the highly portable DISH Tailgater, signal strength may not be as
strong as with a xed home antenna.
OBSTRUCTIONS
The DISH Tailgater requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky for the best signal reception.
Be sure to place the DISH Tailgater in a location free from obstructions such as people, trees,
buildings, vehicles, etc. This will allow for the strongest signal and will help prevent any interruption to
your programming. Point the handle approximately north to speed up search time.
RAIN AND SNOW FADE
Though rare, heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover can reduce the satellite signal, which may
interrupt your programming. Your programming should return as conditions improve.
DO NOT BLOCK THE DISH TAILGATER’S LINE OF SIGHT
TO THE SATELLITES IN THE SOUTHERN SKY AT ANY TIME!
IMPORTANT!
If you move the antenna unit any
time during or after a scan, you will
have to repeat the scan process.
IMPORTANT!
Do not apply rubber feet if roof mounting the antenna unit.
