Using Your PRM240i Modem 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.
