1. CONNECT
Connect the SQ722 as shown below.
Your Set Top Box will power it, external power is not required!
2. POWER
Ensure your Set Top Box is switched ON so that DC power is available
to your SQ722 and LNB.
4. SATELLITE
Satellite Button
Note: the Satellite button defaults to position 1 - Service 1 each time SQ722
starts up. Service 1 is for VAST and PayTV, use of Satellite button is unnecessary.
To change, press the Satellite button repeatedly:
1 Beep is for Service 1 - Optus 10/D3 at 156°E
2 Beeps is for Service 2 - Optus D2 at 152°E
3 Beeps is for Service 3 - Intelsat 19 at 166°E
4 Beeps is for Service 4 - AsiaSat 5 at 100.5°E
These 4 options have been carefully selected as
the Satellites in most demand from Australia.
Programming can be changed if necessary.
3. CHECK
Check your LNB suitability:
Services 1-3 are set for 10.7GHz Local Oscillator (LO) frequency
LNB’s. The label on your LNB should indicate LO. A 10.7GHz LNB
ensures all VAST transponders can be received.
Service 4 is set for C band, 5,150MHz LO LNB’s and larger
prime focus dishes.

6. ELEVATION
Following the BLACK lines on the graph, set the Satellite Dish elevation.
For example: in Melbourne, the elevation would be approximately 45 degrees.

5. VAST/PAYTV
For VAST and PayTV set your dish Elevation Angle, Direction and LNB
Skew or Rotation according to your position on the map below in
step, 6. ELEVATION.
IMPORTANT!
It is CRITICAL that your Satellite Dish mount is
Stable AND Vertical.

8. COMPASS
Using a Compass and the RED angle lines on the map, point the
left to right, azimuth or side ways position of the Satellite Dish in the
direction indicated.

7. LNB
The next step is to set LNB Skew. Rotate the LNB following the
GREEN angle lines on the map.
For example: in Melbourne, the adjustment angle would be
+31 Degrees Rotation, clockwise.
NOTE:
Helpful markings are on the top of
many LNB’s.

9. SIGNAL
Looking at the instrument, there are 2 lines of LEDs.
Signal Quality shows clearly when you have the right Satellite!
GREEN lights represent Signal Quality.
RED lights represent Signal Level.

10. DISH
From the alignment completed in step 8. COMPASS.
Slowly move the Satellite Dish left and right until the instrument
starts to beep and some Signal Quality lights FLASH.
At this point you may also notice the LOCK light on the instrument
has become GREEN.
11. ADJUST
Now that you have found the required Satellite, it is just a matter
of fine adjustments.
Move the Satellite Dish slightly left or right, up and down, watching the
GREEN Signal Quality indicators to achieve maximum Signal Quality.
Tech Tip: If you start with a slightly higher elevation, as you pan
the Satellite Dish side to side, slightly lower the Satellite Dish
after each pass in 1 Degree increments, you are sure to LOCK
the correct Satellite.
If you have signal Strength and Quality you have
found the correct Satellite.
The instrument BEEP becomes faster and more GREEN
Quality lights glow as the signal improves.
Perfect signal sounds a long continuous BEEP.
If you have signal Strength only, you may have found the
wrong Satellite and you will need to double check your
Coarse Alignment Settings.
GREEN lights represent Signal Quality.
RED lights represent Signal Level.

12. Make small adjustments to LNB Skew or Rotation, again watching
the GREEN Signal Quality indicators for the maximum available value.
Note: stand to the side of the front of the Satellite Dish when
optimizing LNB Skew, so your body doesn’t block the signal.
13. Tighten the elevation nuts.
14. Tighten the azimuth nuts in an equal pattern.
Monitor green Signal Quality lights while tightening nuts as tightening
can move it slightly and detune.
Tech Tip: on the Signal Quality indicator you will notice...
LOW indicates Satellite found but not enough Signal Quality
for reliable pictures.
OK indicates Satellite found and stable pictures should result.
Pixelization may occur with rain signal fade.
MAX indicates Satellite found and a stable picture with
margin above rain fade.
15. Disconnect the SQ722 and reconnect coax cable directly
between your Satellite Dish and Receiver.
As SQ722 is a pre-programmed tool, signal does not fully
pass through.
16. All that is left to do is sit back and enjoy your Satellite reception!
