3.5 RF-7800B-DU024 INITIAL SETTINGS AND TURN-ON
Perform the following to point RF-7800B-DU024 Land Portable BGAN terminal and get a GPS fix.
CAUTION
Do not stand in front of the BGAN terminal. The BGAN
terminal emits radio frequency energy when in operation. Do
not stand or place objects in front of the antenna when the
BGAN terminal is operational. Maintain a distance of two
meters or more from the front of the antenna.
a. Take the Land Portable BGAN Terminal outside and lay it down flat. Verify that the unit has an open
view of the sky to get a GPS fix.
b. Power up the BGAN terminal by rotating the ON/OFF knob to either ON or AUDIO. To get a GPS fix
only (without using pointing tones), use ON. See Figure 3-19. Typically, a GPS 3D fix can be
successfully attained in less than 90 seconds.
c. If using audio, point the terminal in the general direction of a satellite to get a beeping tone. Point the
BGAN terminal towards the equator, pointed South if in the Northern Hemisphere, and pointed North
if in the Southern Hemisphere. As the terminal is aimed more directly at the satellite, the tones will
increase in frequency.
d. Connect the BGAN terminal to a computer and power source.
