D) Use a compass to find your Direction to the satellite. If your compass does not have the degree
markings, North=0 and continues clockwise to East=90 degrees, South=180 degrees and so on.

Note: Template (A) is provided on the back of the box to help with the site survey. Template (A) will allow
you to check for obstructions that would block the view or path of dish when aiming up at the satellite.
This is your Angle of Elevation.
ELEVATION TEMPLATE
Cut out Template (A) along the dotted line. At the top of Template (A)
are the elevation markings. Lay a straight edge connecting the
angle to the axis point. Cut along the elevation line. (Refer to Fig 1)
This cut represents the Angle of Elevation. Complete the template
by attaching it to a 24" long board. A piece of 2x4 material is ideal.
Line up the top of the board with the axis point. (Refer to Fig 2)
USING ELEVATION TEMPLATE
While sitting or kneeling on the roof, rest the bottom of the board
on the roof. Keep the template vertical. Point the arrow marked
satellite on the template in the direction identified with your
compass. From the axis side of the template, look up following the
angle of the template. This view should be clear of obstructions.
Use template to check several locations. Consider these factors
as well: * Short cable runs to the central power location are usually
easier and preferred. * Where would the dish be least noticeable?
Looking Over Peak
MARK THE LOCATION ON THE ROOF
Cut out Template (B) along dotted line. Use the stud finder
and locate the closest truss to your preferred location. Set the
CommDeck on the roof where it will be located. Center the
CommDeck over the truss and line up the bottom edge of the
flashing with the bottom edge of a shingle row. Use a marker
and from inside the CommDeck mark the truss. Replace the
CommDeck with the template. Line up the center of the
template over the truss. Slide the template (1) shingle row
up from the row where the CommDeck flashing ended.
(Refer to Fig 6) Use the marker to trace the outline of the
template on the shingles.
