SL-2-DC-002 Operating Manual 

 
 

b.

 

The SL-2-DC includes an integrated cellular modem to enable communication between the device and 
Outdoorlink

’s servers

 and uses LTE CAT M1 cellular technology, which is designed for IoT devices.  The 

SL-2-DC has two antenna modes 

 internal and external 

 and is configured to internal mode when 

shipped.  

 

It is critical that the SL-2-DC is configured for the proper antenna mode.  A user may change antenna 
mode 

by pressing the “ON/OFF 2” 

or 

“ON/OFF 1” push buttons for 5 seconds. 

 The Status LED provides 

visual confirmation of what antenna mode the SL-2-DC is set to.

STATUS LED  

1.

 

Slow Blink: One blink per second continuously indicates that the device is searching for the cellular network 
while in 

internal

 antenna mode. 

2.

 

Slow Blink with Two Second Pause: One blink per second for two seconds followed by two second pause 
indicates that the device is searching for the cellular network while in 

external

 antenna mode. 

3.

 

Rapid Blink: Multiple blinks per second confirms the device is connected to the cellular network 

AND

for 

internal

 antenna mode. 

4.

 

Rapid Blink with One Second Pause: Rapid blink for five seconds followed by a one second pause confirms that 
the device is connected to the cellular network 

AND

 configured for 

external

 antenna mode.
