blinks off. For more information, refer to the

5 When the CPE finds a signal, a dialog box displays the
strength of the signal.
6 To continue your search for the strongest signal, turn
your CPE slowly in a semi-circle, stopping at the 10:30,
12:00, 1:30 and 3:00 positions.
7 Note the signal strength at each position. The stronger
the signal, the more LEDs on the right-side of the
device are lit.
8 Remembering the strongest signal reported, re-orient
your CPE to the direction it was pointed when the
strongest signal was found.
9 To make sure your CPE is registered with your service
provider, wait for the left-most LED on the CPE to be
continuously lit. Click Stop Scan.
You’ve now found the strongest signal in your area. You
only need to re-run the GetConnected program and repeat
the scan when you power down your CPE and move it.
