To open the transport latch
The EXPLORER 710 has a transport latch,
securing the transceiver and antenna during
transport.
1. Lift the transport latch to open the
terminal.
2. Flip up the antenna module.
You can now access the keypad and
connectors on the EXPLORER 710.
To detach the antenna
You have two options for using the EXPLORER 710 antenna:
• Attached. You can go through the pointing process with the antenna and transceiver
attached as one unit. This means you have to move the entire terminal in order to point
the antenna towards the BGAN satellite. If you choose this option, make sure you connect
all cables including the short antenna cable, and enter the PIN code, before pointing the
antenna. If not, you may accidently move the antenna when you connect cables or enter
the PIN code.
• Detached. You can detach the antenna and use it as a separate antenna. With the
antenna separated from the transceiver, it is easier to use the transceiver without
accidently moving the antenna. Also, you can choose the optimum location for the
antenna while keeping the transceiver in a more comfortable location.
Important
Do not place the transceiver in front of the antenna module!
The antenna emits radio frequency energy, which can affect the transceiver.
