Antenna Angle - Lowrance GlobalMap Sport Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

To remove the antenna, simply
loosen the thumbwheels until they
won't turn. Carefully remove the an-
tenna from the unit by pulling it
straight out. If you feel any resis-
tance, make cer tain the
thumbwheels are at the end of their
travel. Don't force any parts!
You can see the antenna's connec-
tor inside the left thumbwheel once
it's removed from the unit. When re-
installing the antenna, align the left
side of the antenna first, then slowly
thread the left thumbwheel until it
engages the connector. This will re-
quire two full turns of the thumbwheel. After you've done this, thread the
right side of the antenna by rotating the right thumbwheel. Remember to
rotate the right thumbwheel in the opposite direction from the left.
Tighten the thumbwheels to get the desired tension on the antenna.
Caution - do not overtighten the thumbwheels.

ANTENNA ANGLE

When using the GlobalMap Sport™, try to make certain the antenna is
parallel with the ground, or nearly so as shown below. Since the signals
from the satellites are "line of sight", a flat antenna gives you a better
ability to receive the signals from all of the available satellites.
Also, trees, buildings, and carports
can block the signals from the sat-
ellites. When using this unit in heavy
brush or timber, remember that it
may lose track on one or all of the
satellites until you move into a clear-
ing.
We have successfully used the
GlobalMap Spor t™ in cars and
trucks since the satellite's signal
passes through glass. However, an-
tenna placement inside the vehicls
can make a difference in receiving
signals.
