Deploy and Power On
a) Deploy terminal
• Unpack and position on a level surface. On rough
terrain, the optional tripod can be used.
• Ensure terminal has clear line of sight towards
satellite. A satellite finder app can be used to find
approximate locations of satellites.
b) Deploy front support
• The front support is stored underneath the terminal. Unfold it by holding the thin metal bar
and pulling it away from the terminal until it reaches its limit as in Figure 3.
c) Deploy antenna
• Release the latch on the front of the terminal according to Figure 4.
To unfold the antenna, simply hold the edge and lift it
up 30cm / 1 foot.
• The antenna is deployed and secured with the
adjustment wheels on each side of the front support.
• Viewed from the rear of the terminal, the wheel lock is
on the left-hand side of the terminal. The lock is
released by turning the left wheel counterclockwise
and engaged by turning it clockwise shown in Figure 5.
• The adjustment wheel on the right-hand side raises
and lowers the antenna. Pulling the lever behind the
wheel depicted in Figure 6 secures the terminal more firmly in elevation.
• Make sure that both the locking mechanisms are released before proceeding.
