OPERATION

STEP 1. Using a compass, determine which direction is North. It is recommended that you step outside to perform this step. Standing in or near coach/RV can give you an incorrect reading. The more accurately you determine North, the easier it will be to find the satellite(s).

STEP 5. Turn receiver ON, and access installation menus to determine antenna elevation and direction/heading.

STEP 6. Move rotation clamp to the ROTATE position. Turn directional handle until pointer on directional handle is pointing in direction indicated by the receiver.
