In IsatM2M mode the terminal stores Bulletin Board information in internal non-volatile memory and
only needs to tune to the Bulletin Board if the internal information needs updating or if a Traffic
channel cannot be found. Therefore, from power on, the ‘Acquiring Bulletin Board’ and ‘Demodulating
Bulletin Board’ stages will normally not occur.
NOTE
:
The indicator can be disabled (off state) or enabled via script control. The indicator may
therefore not come on when power is applied. Contact your authorised dealer for details of any
script that may have been programmed into the SAT-202.
