When the unit is first powered up; or power-cycled any time thereafter; an audible signal strength indicator
(beeper) will be activated.
Fast beeping indicates a high relative signal strength, whereas slow beeping indicates that the unit requires
peaking.
Adjust the unit first panning left and right, then up and down until the rate of beeping is maximized. If the unit is
difficult to tilt or turn, loosen the locknuts on the V-bolts slightly.
If the beep rate is very quick this means the antenna alignment is optimal. At this point it is recommended that a
portable signal analyzer be used to further fine-tune the antenna alignment. Once antenna alignment is complete,
tighten the locknuts to secure the TRI5758 to the pole. If the signal strength is now optimized within acceptable
modem receive levels the beeping will stop after approximately 5 minutes or less.
If the beeping rate continues to remain low this may indicate a potential line of sight, distance limitation, and/or a
CPE or Base Station RF issue. Try installing the unit in a different location with a better/higher line of sight if
possible.
If the beeping quits at any time during tuning, simply power-cycle the unit to reactivate the beeper.

To reset the timer for alignment, simply unplug the power supply from its AC connection. Wait 5 seconds, then
plug the power supply back into its AC connection. The beeper will begin beeping as soon as power is available.
