5.1.5 Re-initialisation of the modem
The hardware RESET signal is available on pin 14 of the 15-pin Sub HD connector. The modem is re-

WARNING: This RESET signal should be considered as a means of re-initialising the modem in cases of
emergency only. For further details concerning the RESET of the modem, see the chapter
7.6 RESET
.
5.2 Recommendations for using the modem in vehicles
WARNING: The power supply connector on the
GenPro 18e

NOT
be connected directly to the
battery of a vehicle.

The circuit breaker is connected to the ground of the lorry, usually connected to the fuse box. As such, most
lorry circuit breakers cut the ground connexion rather than the battery power side as shown in the diagram
