    COM1 would not usually provide power. If the peripheral devices attached to the GSR2700 IS try to draw too much power from the battery output, the receiver will limit the available current to prevent damage to the receiver. Once the excessive load is removed, normal operation of the system will resume.

  • Page 56: Insufficient Power

    In the event of a power failure, the GSR2700 IS power output is disabled on both COM ports and the receiver will not resume operations even if the power button is pressed.
