Figure 6 – Modem Power Wiring Diagram (Level 1)

The following table contains the steps for routing and connecting the power

cable:

1 Determine a cable routing plan that will allow you to connect

the DC power cable between the modem and the vehicle

battery. Connect the male end of the power cable to the 2-

prong connector labeled POWER on the modem.

2 Route the free end of the cable to the vehicle battery. If

necessary, drill a hole in the vehicle firewall and route the

cable through it using the supplied grommet (Refer to

Figure 6 – Modem Power Wiring Diagram above).

3 Locate an available chassis ground mounting point near the

battery and shorten the black lead to remove any excess

cable length.

4 Crimp on the ring tongue terminal and connect the black lead

directly to the chassis ground.

5 Position the fuse holder as close to the battery as possible,

and away from any potentially hot components.
