• The Elevation is the vertical rotation angle relative to
horizontal. This means that an Elevation of 0°
corresponds to the EXPLORER 700 being in an upright
position, pointing towards the horizon.
The compass has 7 lines dividing the Elevation scale into 6
spaces. The space between two lines corresponds to 15°.
The Elevation is measured where the lines meet. This compass
shows an Elevation of
30° (2 spaces up from the first line) and
an Azimuth of 270° (antenna pointing towards West).
Required signal strength
As a rule of thumb, the signal strength should typically be 45 dBHz or more for the EXPLORER 700
to be able to establish a call or data session. However, the required signal strength can vary
depending on a number of factors, such as weather conditions and location.
Do not block the antenna signal with your hands
Note The above explanation assumes that the compass shows the exact orientation. Please
take into consideration the possible deviation and variation that can occur, e.g. because
of the geographical location or the presence of magnetic objects.
Front of antenna
Important
When pointing the antenna, do not touch the front of the antenna module. For your
safety, always maintain a distance of minimum 1 m from the front face of the
antenna. Also, if you place your fingers on the antenna you will be blocking the
signal, and the antenna will not work efficiently.
Hold the support bracket and the transport lock of the antenna while pointing.
