Antenna Aiming Mode
Once associated, click the Aiming Mode button on the Dashboard to open a new window that refreshes once per
second for a 5-minute period. The Aim Heading indicates the direction in which the front of the device should be
pointed based exchange of coordinates. The green arrow and blue shaded region on the dial indicator represent
current and target signal levels, respectively. Note that the dial indicator does not represent azimuth. Azimuth may
need to be adjusted in either direction to meet the target.
Note that the target signal level will be incorrect if the antenna gain value is inaccurate (B5c).

Antenna Aiming Procedure
While viewing the Aiming Mode screen, move the local antenna on one axis at a time (first azimuth and then1.
elevation) in 6mm (1/4 inch) increments.
Wait 2-3 seconds for the signal to settle after each movement. Signal strength may increase or decrease after2.
each movement. Increases in signal strength will move the green arrow and blue shaded region closer
together. Decreases in signal strength will move them farther apart. The point of maximum signal strength
indicates optimal antenna alignment for each axis.
Repeat the steps 1 and 2 above on the remote antenna. The signal strength should match the outputs from3.
