Use the UP and DOWN ARROW to scroll through the screens of this menu, making sure that the satellite frequency and symbol rate, as well as the name of its location, are the same as the satellite you specified in the Service ID configuration.
Use the UP and DOWN ARROW to find the screen which displays your unit's OmniStar Serial Number (#503XXX) and the number of days left until your subscription expires (the field should, of course, report 0.0).

OmniStar MUST THEN SEND AN ACTIVATION CODE (RSOC-Type) OVER THE SATELLITE TO THE UNIT. WHEN RECEIVED, THE NUMBER OF days left WILL UPDATE TO THE AMOUNT SPECIFIED BY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. IT CAN TAKE UP TO THIRTY MINUTES FOR ACTIVATION TO BE COMPLETE. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE SYSTEM BE LEFT ON UNTIL THE RECEIVER IS POSITIONING DIFFERENTIALLY.

To check that activation was successful:

Press the DOWN ARROW to return to the top of the SAT Status menu. The screen should display lock in the upper right corner and should display the satellite you selected on the second line.
Pressing the DOWN ARROW again will display the status of the signal as sent by OmniStar, as well as a text representation of the code.
Pressing the DOWN ARROW once again will display the satellite ID number and signal quality characteristics such as signal to noise ratio (snr), parity pass ratio (expressed as a percent with 100% being optimal), and the number of differential corrections received per minute (cpm). Finally, go to the HOME SCREEN and verify that your receiver's position solutions are being differentially corrected by the Sat Only source. This is evidenced by a D in the upper left corner of the screen and by SATXX appearing in the upper right corner. The second line should read Status: OK if your receiver is operating properly.
