around the pole as shown.
4. Remount the two remaining long screws. Do not
tighten the screws completely until you have pointed
the antenna.
Pointing
Before pointing the antenna you can use the coverage map below to find your approximate
location in relation to the satellites. Pointing is part of the Installation procedure described in
the next section.
The Inmarsat satellites are positioned above the equator, at the centre of each “footprint”.
