Warning:

When using AC to DC adapter the ambient temperature should not exceed   

40

 0

C.

Your PinPoint X can be used with either DC or AC, with the appropriate power 
adapter. DC cables and AC adapters are available as optional accessories in 
addition to the one included with your PinPoint X.

The DC power cable positive lead should be connected to the battery or power 
source positive terminal. The power cable negative lead should be connected to 
the battery or power source negative terminal.

The battery cable used for a car, truck, or other mobile connection must be less 
than 3 meters in length.

The PinPoint X has an internal polysilicon circuit breaker that opens at 0.5 to 1.0 
amps of current.

If you wish to use the Standby Ignition Sense (SISE) feature of your PinPoint X, 
the white wire of the three wire DC power cable should be used to connect to your 
ignition. When SISE is enabled in the modem and the ignition sense connector is 
wired to your vehicle, the ignition sense will provide a link to the modem to enable 
it to enter a low-power, standby mode when your vehicle is turned off and power 
up more quickly when the ignition is started.

Warning:

Explosion Hazard - Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been 

switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous.

Connecting to a Computer or other 
Device

Figure 0-8: Ethernet

The Ethernet port of your PinPoint X can be connected directly to a computer or 
other Ethernet device with either a cross-over cable or a straight-through cable. 
The Ethernet port on the PinPoint X is auto-sensing and will auto-detect the 
speed of the connecting device for 100baseTX or 10baseT. If you are connecting 
the modem to a hub or switch you should use a straight through cable or use the 
uplink port on the hub or switch with a cross-over cable.
