Powering On
The SirenSat Offshore is equipped with a small ON/OFF switch located on the side of the antenna as shown below. The switch is directly above the mini-USB port and
can be toggled using a tool such as a small flat-head screwdriver or pen. The SirenSat Offshore is supplied with the power in the OFF position.
Once the switch is toggled ON, a location message will automatically be sent to the Siren Marine server. This will report up to every five minutes depending on boat
motion as specified in the device overview. Location messages will then be updated to both the Siren Marine device app and fleet app.
Mounting
For best performance, it is recommended to mount the SirenSat Offshore outside
and fully exposed to the sky with a clear 180° view. The antenna is also 100%
weatherproof so exposure with water will not affect its operation. If this is not an
option, the SirenSat Offshore can also be mounted in a location covered by wood
or fiberglass (i.e. inside a console or electronics box). Please note that reception will
be affected if the device is covered.
For a permanent installation, use the bracket and screws provided with the
packaging (see image below).
For a temporary installation, use the industrial adhesives provided with the
packaging. Please note that after the adhesive has fully bonded after 24 hours,
removing the antenna could cause damage to the mounting surface.

Note: Never mount the antenna within 1.5 meters of any large mass of metal, other antenna, or
wiring. These materials or other appliances will block satellite reception if adjacent to the device.
