Safety Information
Local building and electrical codes (NEC) require the
antenna and the coaxial cables to be connected to a
grounding electrode. Improper installation may seriously
damage the equipment or the building, as well as cause
injury or death to you. For your own safety , follow these
important safety rules or contact a licensed inspector or
electrician in your area for assistance:
•
If you will be mounting your antenna in a location where it
will be difficult or dangerous to view the attached bubble
level (see page 6), use a small mirror or plumbing level
instead. DO NOT risk falling
•
Perform as many functions as possible on the ground
•
Do not install the antenna on a rainy , snowy or windy day
•
Make sure there are no people, pets, etc. below when you
are working on the roof
•
Watch out for power lines which may be overhead,
underground and/or hidden behind walls, keeping safely clear
of them with ladders, antenna and tools during installation

Introduction
Your DIRECTV Multi-Satellite Dish antenna is designed for use
with up to four independently operating DIRECTV Receivers.
Along with your receiver User Manual, this guide will provide
the information you’ll need to successfully install and operate
your DIRECTV System. Throughout the manual, the DIRECTV
Multi-Satellite Dish antenna will be referred to as the
“antenna.”
For best results, we suggest you read carefully through these
pages first before beginning installation. The guide is intended
for an individual experienced in performing the various tasks
described, including:
•
Determining an antenna location with a good southerly
view of the satellites
•
Climbing a ladder and working on your roof
•
Observing safe working practices around heights and
electrical hazards
•
Determining if there are water pipes, gas lines or wiring
hidden near where you may drill
•
Using a power drill to drill holes into your house
•
Routing coaxial cable(s) through foundation, wall,
under-floor, attic or interior walls
•
Safely lifting and securing the 20-lb. antenna assembly
•
Grounding the antenna and cable(s) as recommended
in the National Electric Code (NEC)*
NOTE: If you don
’t feel completely comfortable with these
tasks, simply contact the store where you purchased the
system for information on having your system installed by
a local authorized DIRECTV installer
.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ruled
that a local government or homeowner
’s association may not
prevent the installation of satellite antennas one meter or
smaller in diameter, unless legitimate safety restrictions such
as fire codes are in effect. Call FCC tel: (202) 418-0163;
