Usage
The base station will not require any continuous operation or intervention by the user. The device
works independently and will not usually require attention after installation. However, from time to
time, check that the device is still functional.
Multifunction button
In normal mode, LED bar indicates GSM signal strength. Short press of the multifunction button
switches the LED bar to indicate the RAM buffer consumption. Second short press switches the LED bar
to indicate FLASH memory consumption. Third press returns the LED bar to indicate GSM signal
strength again. See below LED F1.
Long press of the multifunction button sets the device to firmware OTA update mode. See below LED
F2.
If the battery low alarm sounds, it can be acknowledged and muted by a short press of the
multifunction button. See below LED BAT.
