Fixed antenna installation
You can keep the EXPLORER 710 antenna in a fixed position, using the Pole mount kit for
EXPLORER 710.
Do as follows:
1. Separate the antenna from the transceiver as described in To detach the antenna
(optional) on page 11.
2. Mount the EXPLORER 710 antenna on a pole or a wall, for example using the Pole mount
kit.
3. Connect the antenna cable between the antenna and the transceiver.
4. Start up the EXPLORER 710 and point the antenna as described in To point the antenna
(BGAN) on page 17.
5. Accept the signal strength by pressing OK on the EXPLORER 710 keypad.
6. Fasten the EXPLORER 710 antenna in the pointed position.
You only have to point the antenna once, when you mount it. Using a computer connected to
the EXPLORER 710, you can set up the EXPLORER 710 to skip pointing at power up. Refer to
Pointing at start-up on page 74.
CAUTION! The bolt or thumb screw must penetrate maximum 9 mm into
the thread in the EXPLORER 710
