the EXPLORER 527 is on. The display
and the green Power indicator light
up.
To switch off
the EXPLORER 527, push
the power button again and let it pop

is disabled.

If it is the first time the EXPLORER 527 system is used, the antenna will start scanning immediately
after power on. If the system has been in use before, the antenna will start up in the last used
position. The Antenna indicator is flashing green during the scanning process and until the
EXPLORER 527 is registered on the BGAN network.
Note that the EXPLORER 527 system will not attempt to register on the BGAN network until the PIN
has been accepted (unless the PIN is disabled).
See the next section for information on how to enter the PIN.

AT+CLCK)
