Calibrating the Antenna Gyros
The TracPhone antenna’s gyros continuously measure the motion of
your vessel and send this data to the antenna’s motor control circuitry
to keep the antenna pointed at the satellite. At the factory, each
antenna gyro is precisely calibrated to work with the antenna’s circuit
board. Therefore, if you ever have a gyro or circuit board replaced, you
will need to recalibrate the gyros for the new part.
Follow the steps below to calibrate the gyros.
1. Press MENUS until the display shows
“DIAGNOSTICS.”
2. Press ACCEPT to enter the Diagnostics menu.
Calibrate the gyros only if directed by KVH Technical Support, and
only while the vessel is stationary. A poor gyro calibration can
reduce the performance of the antenna.
