Orientation

The RockAIR is equipped with both Iridium/GPS and GSM antennae located on the top of the device's casing. That's why, to ensure a good satellite signal, the RockAIR should be upright, with a clear line of sight of the sky.

The typical mounting position for the RockAIR is on the dashboard of your aircraft/vehicle, allowing clear line of sight with the sky through the visor/windshield - mounting on a flat surface is recommended.

Examples of obstructions include large objects above the RockAIR (metal/carbon-fibre), or anything which creates a visible blockage between the top of the RockAIR casing and the sky.

If you are unable to position the unit anywhere that affords a clear line of sight with the sky, you may wish to consider installing the external antennae kit - please discuss this with your account manager, ideally before purchase.

Once switched on, your device will try to obtain a GPS signal. The time taken to obtain a signal will vary from few minutes, when the device has never been used or not been used for a while, to a few seconds when the device is regularly used.
