onto the website to check on the current sta-
tus of the generator at any time. Registering
the generator also enables the system to
notify the owner of any change in operating
status.
The owner will be contacted by e-mail, push
notifications, or text messages if alarms or
warnings occur. The delivery method and fre-
quency of these alerts can be adjusted on the
website.
NOTE: E-mail and text notifications can be
managed through the website. Push notifica-
tions are also available and can be managed
through the use of the Mobile Link App. See
Mobile Link Cellular App for downloading
instructions.
Website Information Screens
The Mobile Link cellular unit sends messages
to alert the owner when scheduled mainte-
nance is required on the generator. The gen-
erator’s total run hours can be viewed, and a
log of completed maintenance can be gener-
ated.
Generator exercise time can also be checked
and altered, if desired, through visiting
www.MobileLinkGen.com.
