Thuraya IP - Manual (Page 8)

1 - Place the Thuraya IP+ terminal outside on a flat surface with a clear view of the sky (avoid
buildings, trees and other objects that may cause obstruction).
2 - Power on the Thuraya IP+ terminal by pressing the power button.
3 - Thuraya IP+ will automatically attempt to locate itself using GPS. This may take up to five
minutes. The small GPS satellite icons on the display (shaded area in the illustration)
illustrate how many GPS satellites are in view at any given time. You need all three satellite
icons to be solid to obtain a GPS fix.
If any of the GPS satellite icons are missing or flashing, then the GPS signal is being
blocked. When the GPS icon stops flashing, then the Thuraya IP+ terminal has successfully
updated the GPS position.
Step 1 - Obtaining a GPS Fix
Clear line of sight with no obstructions is essential to obtaining a GPS fix
Step 2 - Connecting to the Computer

Press and hold the WLAN button on the Thuraya IP+ terminal until the
WLAN icon is displayed.

Networks”. Once Thuraya IP+ is displayed, press “Connect” to Thuraya
