3.4 LED 

Operation 

 
Upon completing the installation of the modem unit, antenna cables, and connecting power, ensure the 
following LED’S are all lit.  The power light will be on once power is applied.  The USR1 light will blink for 
a few seconds after power is applied and then should stay lit indicating the modem has powered up and 
is registered on the GSM network.  The USR2 LED indicates when a GPS fix has occurred and will stay 
lit.  It will be necessary to move the vehicle outside with line-of-sight to the sky to obtain a GPS fix.  This 
may take up to 3 minutes to obtain a fix if the modem has never been used or if the unit does not have a 
valid last known GPS position.  If the unit does have a last known position, the acquisition process should 
take less than 1 minute. 
 

PWR: 

Indicates power to the modem. LED is on when power is turned on and the 
modem is operational. LED is off when power is removed or when the modem 
enters low power mode. 

 
User LED 1: 

This LED can be configured to display registration, GPS fix status, or other user 
functions. By default, this LED indicates GSM/GPRS registration status. LED 
state of OFF indicates that the device is not attempting to register to the network. 
Blinking LED indicates that the device is trying to connect to the network. LED 
always ON indicates that the device is attached to the network. 

 
User LED 2: 

This LED can be configured to display registration, GPS fix status, or other user 
functions. By default, this LED indicates GPS fix status. The LED remains in OFF 
state when invalid GPS data is received. The LED remains ON when valid GPS 
data is received.

Complete Installation

 

Upon completing installation of the modem, antenna, and power cables, ensure that all mounts and 
connections are properly secured and that all cables are secured with wire ties or loom.  Ensure that all 
vehicle systems are tested and functioning properly.  Vehicle should be outside and allowed to obtain a 
GPS fix for at least 5 minutes.  It may be convenient to complete the vehicle installation worksheet during 
this time. 
 
Contact a technical support representative from TracPoint at (800)578-3085 to confirm the unit is on-the-
air and reporting its current position once a GSM network registration AND GPS fix have occurred as 
indicated by the USR1 and USR2 LEDs.
