The antenna transmits RF
energy that is potentially
harmful. Make sure everyone
stays more than 36 feet (11 m)
away from the antenna while it
is in use. The antenna transmits
down to an elevation range of
-24º, so no hazard exists
directly below the antenna.
1. Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky.
2. Make sure power is applied to the modem, control unit,
switch, MTA, and computer(s).
3. Press the power button on the modem. The button's

not lit green, refer to "Troubleshooting" on page
