Connector Description on page 15.
There are two types of optional power cables available from Sierra Wireless:
· Cables with an AC adapter that are usually used for indoor, fixed applica-
tions where the device runs off line power.
· DC cables that are usually used in vehicles or other installations where the
device runs off battery power.
The device automatically starts when it senses power as described in
the LS300 on page 24.
