3.1
Choosing a setup location
Several factors must be considered when deciding on the location of where to set up the system:
•
The surface on which the antenna will be positioned should be reasonably flat.
•
The ideal location is a place where there is an unobstructed view in all directions.
•
When the view is obstructed, choose a location with an unobstructed view in the direction of the desired
satellite. This means that there should be no obstructions such as trees, trailers or RV’s, buildings, etc…
3.2
Positioning the tripod
After choosing a suitable setup location, you can unfold and
position the tripod. Ensure that the legs are fully extended so
that the system will stand in a stable and rigid position.
Additionally, the legs can be secured by means of the supplied
pegs. Place the tripod on a surface that is as flat as possible.
The surface does not have to be perfectly horizontal, but the
more the unit is leveled, the quicker the system will locate the
satellite.
