Installation Guide
¥ We recommend that the outdoor components of the antenna system be grounded in
accordance with local, provincial, and national codes.
¥ We strongly recommend using an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault
protection. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the receiver is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the lines between the receiver and the antenna. This will prevent damage
caused by lightning or power line surges.
¥ Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the
antenna, take extreme care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact
with them can be fatal.
¥ Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing covers (except
for the Smart Card access door on the receiver front panel) may expose you to
dangerous voltage, and will void the warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized
service personnel.
¥ Unplug the receiver from the wall outlet and refer servicing to authorized service
personnel whenever the following occurs:
❒ The power supply cord or plug is damaged;
❒ Liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the receiver;
❒ The receiver has been exposed to rain or water;
❒ The receiver has been dropped or the chassis has been damaged;
❒ The receiver exhibits a distinct change in performance.
¥ When replacement parts are required, ensure that the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer. Unauthorized substitutions may
damage the receiver or cause electrical shock or fire, and will void the warranty.
¥ Upon completion of any service or repair to the receiver, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to ensure that the receiver is in proper operating condition.

Installation Guide
STEP 1: BEFORE YOU START INSTALLATION
THE KEY TO SETTING UP YOUR
SYSTEM EASILY – THIS IS
IMPORTANT
The key to setting up the system is in the accurate initial setting of the vertical elevation
of the dish. The vertical elevation is the amount of tilt upwards, from horizontal, toward
the sky, which is required to ÒseeÓ the satellite. This is best achieved by mounting the
dish support mast so that the top portion, to which the dish clamps attach, is as ÒPlumbÓ
as possible. That is to say: the top portion of the mount should be as perpendicular to the
earth as you can manage - this is true for wall mounting, roof mounting, any kind of
mounting. If it is ÒPlumbÒ, then, when the dish is mounted on it and the dish is tilted
upward toward the satellite at the correct vertical elevation angle, the dish can be easily
panned (East/West movements) to find the satellite.
UNPACK AND CHECK CONTENTS
As you unpack the system, confirm that all the parts are included. See "Package
Contents" on page 1-6 for a list of the included components.
Note: Keep the shipping materials in which these items are packed, in case you ever
need to return them.
Unpack the contents carefully. Electronic equipment can be easily damaged if bumped or
handled roughly. Examine all parts for damage that may have occurred during shipment.
If you find any damage, immediately call the location where your Bell ExpressVu system
was purchased, or the Bell ExpressVu Customer Service Call Centre at
1-888-SKY-DISH, before continuing with installation.
The size of your dish will vary depending on the part of Canada in which you live. The
standard diameter of a Bell ExpressVu dish is 46 cm, however, 60 cm, 90 cm or 1.2m
dishes are also available. If you require the large dish, we recommend that you hire a
professional to install it because installation of the 90 cm and 1.2 m dishes is a more
exacting project.
