Network - Indicates a successful connection to the cellular network with an IP address given and a channel acquired.

Signal - Light shows the strength of the signal and may be nearly solid (strong signal) or flashing (weaker signal). A slow flash indicates a very weak signal.

Activity - Lights will flash as data is transferred to and from the Raven X on the remote network.

Service - Indicates when the connection is EV-DO. Unlit indicates 1x.

Power- Indicates the power adapter is connected and there is power getting to the modem. .

The Reset button has two funtions. If it is quickly depressed and released, the modem will simply power cycle the internal hardware. If, however, the reset is depressed and held for several sec- onds (count 10 slowly), the ALEOS configuration settings will return to the factory defaults.

Caution: If you reset the modem configuration using the reset button, you may need to reactivate your Raven X with Verizon.
