Audible Pointing Indicator
An audible pointing indicator provides an audible representation of the
signal strength during antenna pointing. When on, the indicator emits
pointing tones that increase in tempo as the pitch increases. If the
satellite is not found, one tone is followed by a pause. The indicator
always defaults to off when the unit powers on. Use a short press of the
Connect button to toggle the audio pointing indicator on and off.
