Using the EXPLORER™ 700 antenna
Before connecting the antenna
You can use the EXPLORER™ 700 with the antenna attached to the transceiver, or you can detach
the antenna from the transceiver and use it as a separate antenna unit.
If you are using the antenna attached to the transceiver, use the short antenna cable to connect
antenna and transceiver.
If you are using the antenna detached from the transceiver, use one of the antenna cables from
Thrane & Thrane, or a cable with the same specifications. For information on available lengths,
see Options and accessories on page 136. For specifications on the antenna interface, refer to
Antenna interface on Transceiver on page 162.
Connecting the antenna
Do as follows:
1. Connect the antenna cable to the connector
on the antenna module.
If you are going to use the antenna and transceiver attached as one unit, use the short
antenna cable provided with your EXPLORER™ 700.
If you are going to use the antenna separated from the transceiver, first open the terminal
and gently lift the transceiver out of the antenna frame. Then place the antenna in a
location with a clear view to the satellite and connect the antenna cable.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the
antenna connector on the transceiver.
You are now ready to power up, enter PIN code and point the antenna of the EXPLORER™ 700.
