Using the map, move the pin until it is precisely over the location of your property. You can use the slider below the map to increase the safe boundary around it.

5) Installation Type
If you are installing the system yourself then tap the blue I'll be installing it myself button. If you are having the system installed for you by one of our engineers, choose the I've booked a Pro Installation button instead.
