Selecting a Location for the Antenna
Choose a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the southern
sky. Avoid obstructions such as trees, hills, vehicles, or buildings
— these can block the signal from the satellite.
Do not place the antenna in a path of people or vehicles' otherwise,
the antenna may be knocked off of the signal if run into, or cables
may be disconnected from the unit.
The antenna may take longer to lock onto signal if the antenna is
not level.
