RV LADDER MOUNT: We have an adapter that can be added to your RV ladder and used to hold and aim the Rocket.
The adapter is a plastic mount that secures to your ladder and is ready for you to insert the rocket small metal pole adapter. The small pole is approximately 10" tall and allows your rocket to rotate around 360 degree using the orientation tabs.

How to Aim the Rocket
USING THE SIGNAL FINDER APP: In the antenna dashboard, (http://192.168.225.1) click on the "Signal Finder" button.
Click the "Start Signal Tone" to have the app play a tone that will go higher when the signal gets stronger, or will go lower if it gets weaker.
Rotate until you get the best signal and then run a speed test.
If you can't hear the tone, make sure your phone is NOT on silent mode. For newer Apple devices, if the bell has a line through it, it will not play the tone.
ROTATION METHOD:
Start with antenna pointing to the North. Wait 2 minutes and run a speed test. After 2 minutes, point antenna to the East, wait 2 minutes and run a speed test. After 2 minutes, point south, wait 2 minutes and run a speed test. Repeat until back at the North. After this, you should know where the speeds are around you and you can tweak in the direction that you found the fastest speeds.
