Attach one end of an RJ11 cable into the socket on the side of the DEC unit and the other end into
the DEC socket located on the main control unit. Using another RJ11 cable, connect the hand controller and
the HBX socket located on the main control unit. Plug the 12V DC power supply into the Power socket on

3.2.6. STEP 6. Setup Hand Controller

The iEQ45 is equipped with a GPS receiver, which will receive the time, longitude and latitude
information from satellites after the link is established. A clear sky outside is needed for the GPS to
establish its link with the satellites and change the display form GPS ON to GPS OK. Remove the OTA if it
takes longer than expected to be connected to satellites.
