Audible Pointing Indicator
An audible pointing indicator provides an audible representation of the
signal strength during antenna pointing. When on, the indicator emits
pointing tones that increase in tempo as the pitch increases. If the
satellite is not found, one tone is followed by a pause. The indicator
always defaults to off when the unit powers on. Use a short press of the
Connect button to toggle the audio pointing indicator on and off.

GPS Icon
The GPS icon indicates the state of the GPS information in
the ThurayaIP, specifically whether the information is up-to-
date or should be refreshed.
• The icon flashes when the stored GPS information is older
than the GPS validity period.
• The icon is on steady when the stored GPS information is
within the GPS validity period.
Satellite Icons
The satellite icons, located next to the GPS icon,
indicate the status of the GPS receiver in the ThurayaIP
and the number of visible satellites.
• The icons are off when the GPS receiver is off.
• The icons are active when the GPS receiver is on, either
flashing or steady state. The number of icons in steady state
indicates the number of GPS satellites in view. You will need
