You can access the menu by pressing the OK button. Use the Up and Down arrows to navigate through the menu and press the OK button to enter a submenu or change a setting. When you edit a setting, the Up and Down buttons will let you scroll through the available options for that setting and the OK button will confirm your selection. Use the Back button to exit a setting.
This is the menu you must use to set up your system if you want to use two antennas with you VBOX 3iS unit. You can read more about how to set up a Dual Antenna system here.

Antenna Alignment

To measure the slip angle, try to get the alignment of the antennas as close as possible to the centreline of the vehicle. You can remove any residual errors in this alignment by using the Auto Align feature.

Select Auto-align to start the alignment process. 

Note: You will need to drive in a straight line at a constant speed of more than 25 km/h for a short period of time for the alignment to complete.

Select Clear to remove an already set antenna alignment.
