Part 5/8:
Weather Resistance and Outdoor Use
The Mini is IP67 weather rated, meaning it is dustproof and can withstand immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. However, once the Ethernet port is used, this weather rating is compromised unless compatible cables are deployed.
User-Friendly Setup
The setup process is notably straightforward. Using a portable battery pack, the dish was positioned and powered up facing north. Within minutes, using the Starlink app for guidance, the dish connected to satellites and was fully operational after a brief update period. Setup took less than 10 minutes.
