How to install the Mini Antenna Set on your Terra Station

Installation is easy and requires just 3 steps:
1. Screw each antenna onto your Terra Station’s antenna ports. Be sure to attach the correct antenna to each port. Note that the antennas are NOT interchangable.
2. Login to featherworks.terralistens.com with your Terra name and password.
Go to Terra Control Panel and switch on both External Antenna switches. Click “Save”.
3. Now unplug and replug your Terra, and you’re done!
