Checking the power supply

Use only the power supply that was enclosed with the satellite modem when it was shipped from
the factory.

• Always use the power supply provided with the satellite modem. The modem’s performance

may suffer if the wrong power supply is used.

• Connect the AC/DC power supply to a three-wire, grounded outlet with an input of 110/240

VAC. A suitable surge protector is recommended to protect the satellite modem from possible
damage due to power surges.

• Observe the power standards and requirements of the country where it is installed.

If the LEDs do not function properly as described in this chapter, check the label on the power
supply and verify that you have the correct power supply.

For an AC/DC power supply, the Hughes part number on the power supply should be one of the
following:

• 1500089-0001
• 1500185-0001

If the power supply is DC/DC, the Hughes part number should be:

• 1033554-0001

If your power supply has any other part number, contact your service provider.
