ESTABLISHING A SATELLITE CONNECTION (CONTINUED)
STATUS BAR DISPLAY
To be able to make a voice or data call, the following icons must be displayed on the
Sat-Fi2 App status bar:
• Gateway Icon
• Satellite Signal Strength
BEST PRACTICE FOR MAKING A SUCCESSFUL CALL
The Sat-Fi2 RAS will work indoors, but the Sat-Fi2 RAS Antenna MUST be outside with an
unobstructed 360° clear view of the sky (no buildings, trees, etc.) to operate properly.
MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY
The Sat-Fi2 RAS antenna must be installed in
an upright position with the top of the antenna
pointed towards the sky.
LESS THAN 360° CLEAR VIEW OF THE SKY
SEMI OBSTRUCTED
– Outside backyard with
two-story houses and trees will reduce call
connection and performance
OBSTRUCTED
– Woods, large buildings,
mountains will greatly reduce call connection
and performance
