The Power Button turns the Satellite IP Modem power on and off. To turn on the Regional BGAN
Satellite IP Modem, push the Power button down until the Power Light illuminates. To turn off the
Satellite IP Modem, push the Power button down until the Power Light darkens (at least two
seconds). The Modem will shut off a few seconds later.
When the Satellite IP Modem is first connected with the AC Main power, the Modem will power
on immediately. Note that when the Satellite IP Modem is attached to AC Main power, the
Modem still supports battery charging while the Modem is turned off.

When the Satellite IP Modem is powered down, the Power Light is off.
Normal Operational Mode: The Power Light is green if the Modem is running on AC Mains power
and flashing green if the Modem is on battery power.
Pointing Mode: The Power Light displays as one of two “switching colour” states related to GPS
acquisition. If the Light is switching between red and amber, then the GPS location has not been
updated since power up. If the Light is switching between amber and green, then the GPS
location has been updated since power up.
In any mode, if the Power Light is flashing red, there is a fault or error in the Satellite IP Modem.
