3 Powering up the ADL120

The easiest way to power up the ADL120 is connecting it to a 12-28 Volt cigarette
lighter sockets with the supplied cable. For a first test experience has shown that you
can get good results by parking your car on a parking lot which a good view to the sky
and powering the ADL120 using the cigarette lighter socket of your car.

If using the cigarette lighter socket, please make sure you have a continuous
power supply. We had reports of loose or broken sockets causing the ADL120 to
reboot from time to time.

4 Powering up the ADL130

Make sure the ADL130 is charged then put the power switch on the “On” position. The
green light net to the switch should illuminate.

6 Connecting your iPad/iPhone/Android device to the ADL120/130

After powering up the ADL device you have to connect your portable device to the WI­FI access point provided by the ADL device. Go to the setting screen of your device.
We show this step for the Apple iPad but other devices will work in a similar way.
Choose “Wi-Fi” on the left side. Then on the right side you will see the network
“ADLConnect”. Choose this network and make sure the iPad really connects to the
ADLConnect wireless network.
