ANTENNA POSITION
“Antenna Position” refers to the angle above the horizon to which you should point
the antenna .
The antenna can be put in three positions: LOW, MIDDLE, and HIGH.
In the LOW position you put the antenna in pointing angle of less than 45º.
In the MIDDLE postion it is put in an angle between 45º and 70º.
In the HIGH position the pointing angle is 70º or greater.
ANTENNA DIRECTION
"Antenna Direction" refers to the direction (north, east, etc.) the flat face of the antenna
should point. With the help of the supplied compass, select the desired pointing dire c t i o n
for the antenna.
USING THE CO M P A S S
1) Place the compass on the picture at right, and align it
in such a way that the N on the compass is in the same
position as the North on the picture.
2) Turn the paper and the compass at the same time until
the red side of the compass needle points to N(orth).
3) Refer to the ANTENNA POINTING GUIDE on the next
page to select the correct Antenna Direction for your
region.
NOTE: Please make sure that the compass is not placed
on top of or near metal plates or material as this may
alter the position of the needle.
