POWER ON UNIT
When powering on the HawkEye 5500, it is important to have the vehicle in a position to acquire good
signal strength to speed up the time it will take for the device to acquire its first satellite & GPS lock.
The unit can power on in two ways:
Via sense of ignition power through the wiring harness
Via manual press of the front panel button
To power the unit on via the front panel button, hold down the green power button until the power light stops
flashing.
NOTE
: When the unit is powered on via the ignition wiring harness, the front panel button will have no effect
and the unit will report ‘Ignition On’ instead of ‘Power On’.
NOTE
: When the unit is powered on via the front panel button, the ignition line will have no effect on unit
power and the unit will report ‘Power On’ instead of ‘Ignition On’.
NOTE: It may take up to 30 minutes to acquire the GPS almanac the first time the unit is powered
on in a location that was very, very far from its previous location. This can be determined once the
status LED turns from RED to another color.
