STEP 1 – FIND AN OPEN AREA
Lay the MCD-VOYAGER flat (top side up, as
if to open the case), under an open sky.
The terminal needs to have line-of-sight
with one of the two Thuraya satellites.
These satellites connect with stationary
satellites in the sky, so as long as line-of-
sight is possible, the terminal can be
located next to a wall or tree.
The map below is very helpful to find what direction the closest Thuraya satellite is. Use the
included compass to help you quickly discern where a good location would be to place the
terminal to avoid visual obstacles like trees and buildings.
