# Number Of Connected Satellites
The number of satellites that the Base Station is connected to is shown in the Home Screen.
The number is shown next to "SATELLITES".
Please note
When the Base Station is turned ON the numbers are increasing until no more satellites can be found. This number is highly dependent on geographical location as well as the placement of the Base Station. Placing it near trees or buildings can inhibit its view of the sky thus finding fewer satellites than placing it out in the open. Reaching a total of approx. 15 satellites can take around 60-90 seconds.
In the example below, the Base Station is connected to a total of 10 satellites.
