Do not stand in front of the Antenna
The Satellite Terminal emits radio frequency energy when
in the transmit mode. To avoid injury, do not place head
Note
or other body parts in front of the antenna when system is
operational.
Establishing a new connection requires the careful orientation of the
Satellite Terminal towards the BGAN Satellite. The more precise this
alignment, the faster your data will be able to travel over the
network.
The goal of pointing is to maximize the received signal. The Terminal
provides you with information on the received signal via the audio
pointing aid and LEDs on the unit and the MMI application on your
computer. These displays work simultaneously, and the user can use
either of them. The MMI can also provide azimuth and elevation
information for use with the compass and protractor integrated on
the MT.
Pointing Using LEDs and Audio Indicator
1. Manipulate the angle and position of the Satellite Terminal by
checking the compass and the protractor angle. The optimum
compass position is S -> SE.
