Question/Issue: 

My modem has a solid red LED 

 

Answer checklist: 

This indicates that the modem is stuck in bootloader mode 

1. Try to reflash firmware using the RFD modem tools. 

2. If the tools cannot establish boot mode try to manually force bootloader. This is done by 
holding a short, on pad one and two on the +, a and u modems, or, pad nine and shield for x 
series  modems,  as  you  apply  power  to  the  device.  The  pads  are  located  between  the  pin 
header and shield of the modem and are numbered starting from pad one, the left most pad. 
After the power up, the short can be removed.  

3. If, after several attempts at 2., the issue remains it will be necessary to contact your seller 
to arrange a modem swap.
