Using Your PRM240i Modem

Care & Maintenance ____________________________________________ PRM240i Wireless Modem User Manual

Switching the Modem On/Off

The non-rugged PRM240i modem does not contain a manual on/off power switch. The modem is automatically powered on/off when the iPAQ Pocket PC is inserted and removed respectively.

Before operating your non-rugged PRM240i modem ensure the battery is fully charged, Modem Info software has been installed on the iPAQ and the iPAQ is inserted into the modem, as described earlier.

Upon first iPAQ insertion the modem Power/On-Line indicator should display slow flashing green (once per second) as the modem searches for a network connection. As soon as the modem is registered the Power/On-Line indicator will fully illuminate. If network access is denied or no network can be found the Power/On-Line indication will continue to search to flash until it can register somewhere. On subsequent insertions the Power/On-Line indicator will reflect the power mode state set in the Modem Info application (refer to page 25).

If the Low Battery display starts flashing red, the battery needs charging. See the previous section, Charging the Modem Battery on page 21, for further information.

The iPAQ and non-rugged PRM240i modem is now ready for use.
