While you perform steps 2 and 3 two times in succession (if properly scripted), the device sends
four messages (2-ignition ON and 2-ignition OFF) to the host server. Later you can verify that
the host server received this communication. For your convenience, the following table
contains the LED activity descriptions.

NOTE: Upon initial power connection (when power is first applied), the power LED may flash
rapidly for 5 to 10 seconds as the internal processor initializes.
5. If the LEDs do not function as stated, try the following:
a.
Check the connections using a multimeter to verify Power, Ignition, and Ground at the
Molex System Connector.
b.
Perform a power reset. To do this, unplug the Molex Connector from the MT 1200, wait 30
seconds, and then reconnect it.
NOTE: If this is a device with an internal back up battery, turn the battery off, and then turn it
back on to complete the reset.
NOTE: If the device has an internal backup battery, you must turn the battery switch off, then
back on to complete the reset.
6. After successfully completing steps 2 and 3 twice, ideally while still at the vehicle, verify that the
host server has received the messages.
NOTE: Be prepared to provide the necessary information to complete the validation process
such as MEID, Serial Number, and Mobile Number.
