Starting the Tilt Calibration

  Because this upper control board version
  rests between the arms, it needs an initial
  calibration to memorize it’s level point.

First Compass Reading

  With the dish stowed, raise the DataStorm
  until its arm is level [parallel with 
  the base plate]. When level, click next to
  take the reading. [Typical level position is
  up 3°  from the stowed position.]

THE DISH MUST BE STOWED

ONLY USE THIS CALIBRATION IF YOU HAVE A LEGACY STYLE UPPER CONTROL BOARD

WHICH IS ATTACHED BETWEEN THE DISH ARMS; THESE HAVE NOT BEEN SHIPPED

IN NEW DATASTORM MOUNTS SINCE SEPTEMBER 2004 [F1 ONLY]
