Turning On the System

To turn on your TracPhone system, follow these steps:
CAUTION
The antenna transmits RF energy that is potentially harmful. Make
sure everyone stays more than 42 feet (13 m) away from the
antenna while it is in use. The minimum safe distance increases to
101 feet (31 m) if a person is more than 6.5 feet (2 m) above the
plane of the antenna's base. The antenna transmits down to an
elevation of -24º, so no hazard exists directly below the antenna.
Important!
Before you start using the system, make sure you have read and
understand the End User Agreement (available in PDF format at
www.kvh.com/mvbcustomercenter). Pay particular attention to the
Use of Service section.
1. Make sure the antenna has a clear, unobstructed view of the
sky.
2. Make sure vessel AC power is applied to the antenna, ICM,
and your computer(s).
3. Press the power button on the front of the ICM. The button's
light should illuminate green.

4. Wait at least five minutes for system startup. Do not turn off
the ICM during this time.
5. Turn on your computer(s) that are connected to the network.
Once the antenna finds the service satellite and the ICM's
modem logs into the mini-VSAT Broadband service, all status
lights on the ICM should be lit green. If any lights are not lit
green, refer to "LED Indicators" on page
