After you enter the installation parameters on the Installation screen and click
Submit Installation Parameters, the satellite modem enters pointing mode.
This allows you to point the antenna.
This section provides some general information about antenna installation and
pointing, especially as these tasks relate to modem installation. For complete
instructions on installing antenna mounts, antennas (including radio assemblies)
and pointing, refer to the manuals listed in Instructions for other terminal
components on page 9.
The HN9000 satellite modem can be used with a .74 m or .98 m two-way satellite
antenna. Assemble and install the antenna assembly according to the antenna
installation manual. If you do not have the antenna installation manual, find the
required antenna type and model on the Installation Reference Sheet. Then find
the installation manual for the specified antenna on your installation support
web site. The antenna and satellite modem are shipped in separate boxes.
When you install the antenna assembly, read and follow all safety alerts and
instructions in the antenna installation manual and in the Antenna Site
