Getting started 

 
The following instructions are to help the user connect the system together for the first time 
and be able to successfully power on the unit. In order to prepare the system and test its 
functionality before mounting to a vehicle, the Micron Gemini requires either an Ethernet or 
Serial test kit (depending on user requirement).  
 
If seeking support from Tritech, reference may be made to bench testing the unit on a short 
test cable 
 

 

An example Micron Gemini test setup
