Activation Process 

 
Prior to starting the activation process, please ensure the following is displayed: 

  Battery is above 7.2V 

  Cable is “Connected” and shown in green 

  Enclosure is “Secure” and shown in green 

 

 

Activation is a four step process. 

1.  Test Mobile Signal 

 
Test the mobile signal strength and if necessary adjust the antenna location and/or 
orientation. The mobile signal test will run for around 2 minutes, so you have time to make 
antenna adjustments. 
 
It is important to wait approximately 15 seconds after making an antenna or meterwatch 
orientation adjustment, as the indicated signal strength does not change instantaneously. 
 
The signal is shown in dBm with a message describing signal quality - poor, good or 
excellent. Ideally you should be aiming to get at least a good signal ie -93 dBm or better. 

The 

closer the dBm value is to 0, the better the signal.
