Equipment Power Up

Before installing your Mobil Ind oor Speedpass equipment, a
quality surge protecto r should be purchased to protect the
equipment from voltage surges. Ideally, the Mobil Indoor
Speedpass equipment and the POS equipment should have its own
dedicated A C power outlet. The surge protector is plugg ed into the
AC power outlet first. The Mobil Indoor Speedpass Power Supply
should then be plugged into the surge protector.

Use the following procedures to power up the Mobil Indoor
Speedpass unit:

1. Insert the Power Cable connector into the Multicable jack
labeled POWER.

Warning: When the Power Supply is plugge d into the AC power

outlet, voltage is immediately available to th e Mobil

cable connector.

Note: The AC power outlet should be easily accessible

should the user desire quick power disconnect.

2. Connect the Power Supply to the AC power outlet or
appropriately configured power connector.

3. Verify that the display is activated.

Warning: To turn off your M obil Indoor Speedpass, always

unplug the power su pply from the AC power outlet

Multicable power receptacle and the potential shock
