Your Satellite Terminal contains an integrated Global Positioning
System (GPS) receiver that is used to provide location information to
the BGAN system. GPS location information is required for system
access and the reception of a new GPS location is attempted
automatically every time the Terminal is powered up.
The GPS antenna is located in the main Antenna. For optimum GPS
signal reception, make sure the Terminal is placed in a horizontal
position pointed towards the satellite. Since GPS receivers must
“see” a large part of the sky without obstructions from buildings,
mountains or trees, it is necessary to take your Satellite Terminal out
to a clear space to obtain a new GPS location. It may be possible to
obtain a new GPS location in a less favorable circumstance, but the
time to completion may be longer.
Once the GPS position is updated, the Satellite Terminal
“remembers” your location so the unit can be relocated to a more
convenient working area, such as inside a building by a window
facing the satellite.

1. Take the Satellite Terminal outside and lay it down flat. Verify that
the unit has an open view of the sky to get a GPS fix.
2. Power up the Terminal. The GPS LED will start to flash green unless
a GPS hardware failure is detected.
3. Monitor either the MMI GPS indicator or the Terminal’s GPS LED
for the quality of the GPS fix.
