SELECT BUTTON
The Select Button controls the selection of the interface between your computer and the Satellite IP Modem.
All Operational Modes: Pressing and holding this button down for two seconds will display the current selected interface and battery state. Pressing this button again changes from the active interface to the next one, cycling through Universal Serial Bus (USB), Ethernet, and Bluetooth until you have made the desired selection (indicated by the illumination of the selected interface Light).
Once you have selected the new interface, the Modem will shut itself off after approximately three seconds. If AC Mains is connected to the Modem, it will restart itself. If the Modem is under battery power, you will need to restart the modem by pressing the Power Button
INTERFACE LIGHTS
The USB, Ethernet, and Bluetooth Lights indicate the state of the
Normal Operational Mode: Only the Light of the selected, active interface is lit. If the Interface Light is green, the Satellite IP Modem is properly connected to the Regional BGAN network. If the Interface Light is amber, the appropriate interface has been selected but a connection to the network has not yet been established. If the Interface Light is flashing red, there is a fault or error in the Satellite IP Modem.
Pointing Mode: In this mode, all Interface Lights are lit and used as a bar graph to indicate relative signal strength. The Lights turn from red (poor signal strength) to amber (better signal strength) to green (best signal strength) as the antenna is manipulated to get the optimum signal.
BATTERY LIGHT
The Battery Light is off when the Satellite IP Modem is powered down.
Normal Operational Mode: If the Battery Light is flashing amber, the Satellite IP Modem is powered on and not connected to AC mains power. If the Light is flashing green, the Modem is connected to AC mains power and the battery is charging. If the Light is green, the Modem is connected to AC mains power and the battery is fully charged. If the Light is flashing red, the battery is low and is not charging.
Pointing Mode: In this mode, the Battery Light is lit along with the interface lights to be used as a bar graph to indicate relative signal strength. The Light turns from red (poor signal strength) to amber (better signal strength) to green (best signal strength) as the antenna is manipulated to get the optimum signal.

Note
When the Satellite IP Modem is on battery power (no AC Mains) the Power, Interface, and Battery Lights will flash to conserve power.
