INSTALLING THE SATELLITE ANTENNA
Once you have found the direction and elevation of the satellites and decided on the best
mounting location, you can install the satellite antenna. Read through the Discussion of
Potential Mounting Sites on page 6-13 before selecting your mounting location.
ORIENTING THE MAST OR POLE
It is very important that the upper part of the mast or the mounting pole, whichever you
use, be truly plumb (that is, vertical). If not, the elevation provided by the recorder for your
location will be inaccurate. This will make it more difficult for you to aim the antenna for
the strongest signal.
