Step C.  Determining where to install the terminal

In order for your terminal to work correctly, it must be installed in a location that provides a clear, 
unobstructed, line of sight between the terminal and the satellite. Any objects such as building structures or 
trees may degrade the quality of the satellite to terminal connection. To determine where to install the fixed 
mount and terminal, you need to determine that you have both a clear unobstructed line of sight to the 
satellite and that your fixed mount is aimed in the approximate direction to the satellite. A graphic example 
is provided for you at Figure 4 and a full size worksheet for your use is provide at Figure 10 (page 7). An 
example of 

directional aiming

 is provided below
