OMPASS
Use the compass during the Antenna Pointing process to point the terminal in the direction of
the satellite. The BGAN LaunchPad can be used to determine the correct direction. North is 0
degrees, East 90 degrees, South 180 degrees, West 270 degrees, each division on the compass
corresponds to 10 degrees.
The compass accuracy can be affected if the terminal is placed close to
magnetic fields or ferromagnetic materials.
