3 | Diagnostic LED
descriptions

At power up, all B440 LEDs activate
for several seconds, indicating proper
insertion. The Signal LEDs then turn off
until the module registers on the cellular
network. Registering a new module
might take up to 2 min.

Check the LED display to ensure a
good signal strength level, and adjust
the antenna location as required. The
signal strength LEDs momentarily turn
off to indicate the module has measured
and updated the signal strength status.
Refer to Table 3.1.
