Do not move the vehicle until you are able to stow the unit. See Ready to Travel? above.
Other Notes
Weather and vehicle location can impact the ability of the TRAV’LER antenna to locate all of the required satellites.
Obstructions such as buildings or tree limbs can block the satellite signals and prevent the TRAV’LER antenna from
successfully locating all of the satellites for Multi-Sat Mode. Make sure you have a clear view of the southern sky.
