Antenna mode
The EXPLORER 6075LX is an auto-acquire antenna, which means it automatically searches
for the satellite and logs on without user intervention. However, you may want to use the
antenna in a different manner. In the SETTINGS > Antenna page you can set up manual
pointing or fixed installation.
The antenna also has Dynamic Pointing Correction (stabilization
feature) that ensures that the antenna stays locked on to the
satellite, even in strong wind.

This means the EXPLORER 6075LX automatically logs on to the network after reboot in
case of a temporary power loss. No user action is required. Fixed installation is allowed
after the EXPLORER 6075LX has been pointed to the satellite.
