port of the vehicle router.

Turn on and Check Connection Page 11
Turn the ignition (or AC Accessory option) ON for the vehicle. Plug in the 2 pin Molex.
If the blue LED is not seen within 20 seconds after the ignition is switched on, shut off the ignition
immediately. Please review the set-up sequence and restart the PC-EI again.
When power is first connected, the LED should show a solid blue indication and then go to flashing red for up
to three minutes.
After seeing flashing red, it will begin to flash green. The flashing green light indicates that the signal is being
acquired. After the flashing green, the LED should become a solid green which indicates the LTE connection is
established. It may take up to 90 seconds to have a solid green indication and LTE network connection.
Light Indicator Guide
Blue = Initialization
Flashing Red = No data connection
Solid Red = No SIM
Flashing Green = Connecting
Solid Green = Attached to network
