Establishing a Satellite Connection
1. Ensure that the antenna on the roof of the vehicle has a clear view of the southern sky.
The antenna must be able to “see” the entire southern sky. Tall buildings or similar structures, heavily leafed trees
and mountains between you and the satellite can degrade performance as they block the signal between the
antenna and the satellite. Having a completely open view of the sky plays a very important role in maximizing
performance.
