Orientation, Set-up and Key Features
User Interface
!
The
HawkEye 6300
has no user interface as such. The device is designed to be used in conjunction
with the app (available from the Google Play Store, or the Apple App Store) and either the YBlog
system (for individual/consumer use) or the more comprehensive ‘Core’ management system (for
corporate use).
The behaviour of many features of your device, including the alert features, are configured by
changing settings in the management system or via the app.
!
Orientation
Your unit is equipped with both Iridium & GPS antennas located on the top ‘domed’ part of your
casing. For the best results it is important to be mindful of the orientation of your device when in
use. To ensure good satellite signal, the antennae should be clear of obstructions and have a clear
view of the sky.
Examples of obstructions include a heavily wooded area or inside a vehicle or building.
Environments such as these offer very little, if any, view of the sky. In these instances, it would be
best to reposition your device so that it can have a clear view of the sky, such as in a clearing, on the
dashboard or rear window of a car or mounted on a pole or rail.
