Wrong PIN
You have 3 attempts to enter the PIN, before you are asked to enter the PUK (Pin Unblocking Key).
The PUK is supplied with your SIM card.
Enter the PUK followed by a new PIN of your own choice. The PIN must be from 4 to 8 digits long.
Pointing the antenna
The importance of pointing
In order to obtain the best possible signal at the
lowest possible cost, it is important that the
EXPLORER 700 antenna is pointed correctly towards
the satellite.
The antenna must have a clear line of sight to the
satellite without any obstacles blocking the signal,
and the pointing direction of the antenna should be
as accurate as possible.
The next sections describe how to point the antenna for the best possible signal.
Pointing data
If the position of the satellite in relation to the EXPLORER 700 is known, you can use the compass
to roughly point the antenna in the right direction. If you know the
Azimuth
and the
Elevation
, you
can use this data to adjust the antenna.
•
The
Azimuth
is the horizontal rotation angle relative to
North (moving clockwise).
Important
If you enter a wrong PUK 10 times, the SIM card will no longer be functional, and
you have to contact your Airtime Provider for a new SIM card.
Important
Incorrect pointing may result in poor quality of the signal, and in some cases
retransmission may be necessary. This could mean you will be paying more than
necessary for your transmission.
