What is the AIM?
Overview
Congratulations on your new Advanced Installation Meter (AIM)
2! The AIM 2 was developed in collaboration with DIRECTV to
provide customized features for installing and troubleshooting
DIRECTV satellite receiver systems.
The AIM is a rugged meter suitable for both indoor and outdoor
use. When fully charged, the AIM can be used to install satellite
receiver systems in approximately six single-family homes on
a single charge. Both an AC power adapter and a convenient
vehicle power adapter are provided for charging the meter. The
carrying case protects the meter and its accessories during
transport and storage.
The AIM’s large display and keypad make it easy to navigate to
the features you need. On-screen directions guide you through
ODU installation, Extended Installation Verication (EIV), and
other test processes.
The AIM lets you track information for each account, including
account settings and test results. You can also transfer this
information from the meter to a PC using a USB ash drive.
New Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet connectivity provide for easier rmware updates and
report uploads, as well as through the USB port.
