Before you start

Operation at high temperatures

In very high ambient temperatures, do not touch areas of
the terminal that are marked with this symbol.

If the terminal is installed in a location where the ambient temperature may
rise above 50°C, we recommend placing the terminal where unintentional
contact is avoided. Note that the maximum allowed ambient temperature is
55° C.

Getting started

If the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed 50°C, the terminal can
be placed in a public area.

For further information on installation, refer to the installation manual for the
SAILOR FleetBroadband systems.

Switching on the terminal

Using the Power switch

To switch on the terminal, use the Power switch in the connector panel. It
normally takes one or two seconds for the terminal to switch on.

Using the ignition system

Normally the ignition function is not used in maritime installations. Instead
you may want to use the remote on/off function described in the next section.

If you have connected the ignition system of your vessel to the I/O connector,
you may leave the power switch in the “on” position and the terminal will
switch on/off when you start/stop the engine of your vessel. When the engine
is stopped the terminal is in standby mode, meaning that only the primary
parts of the system are kept alive. The standby current is max. 15 mA when the
ignition is off. For information on how to connect to the I/O connector, refer to
the installation manual for the SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband system.

You must set up the ignition function in the web interface. For further
information, see Configuring the I/O interface on page 110.

Using a remote on/off switch

If a switch is connected to the remote on/off pins in the DC connector, you may
leave the power switch in the “on” position and use the remote switch to turn
the terminal on and off. When the remote switch is off, the terminal is off.
However, if you leave the power switch on the terminal in the “on” position,
