3. Look at the wMMI home page display and note the

compass bearings and elevations for both Thuraya IP+

satellites in the “Satellite Location” section. The

recommended satellite for your location will be highlighted

in green. With the Thuraya IP+ terminal upside down, use

the integrated compass to determine the direction of the

recommended satellite. You must be able to obtain a clear view of the satellite in

the sky for the Thuraya IP+ to connect to the network. If the recommended

satellite is obstructed from your location, consider using the alternate satellite

instead. If neither satellite is accessible from your location, you will need to move

to a location that has visibility to at least one of the satellites.

4. Once you have determined the best satellite to use, move

the antenna stand to the correct elevation angle using the

surface with the antenna facing in the direction of the
