I2C is required for Electronic Identification (EID) support on the accessory card but can be used for other I2C devices.
If replacing a battery, non-metal tweezers or similar object CR1632 standard coin lithium battery To install or replace the battery: If connected, disconnect power to the Conduit. At the front of the Conduit housing, remove the screw that secures the MultiTech nameplate to the housing. ® Conduit...
Standard USB Micro B cable Disconnect power to the Conduit, if it is connected. At the front of the Conduit housing, remove the screw that secures the MultiTech nameplate to the housing. Locate and identify the USB debug cable connector in the center of the opening. Make sure have the appropriate cable available (if you have the 3-pin connector, see cable details below).
Page 22
SETTING UP AND CONFIGURING THE DEVICE If you have the 3-pin connector, connect the 3-pin cable to the debug connector. Connect the Type A end of the USB cable to the host. From the host, use an application such as TeraTerm with a baud rate of 115,200. If the USB driver does not automatically install, do the following: Unplug the USB cable.
Page 23
SETTING UP AND CONFIGURING THE DEVICE Purchase a USB to 3.3V Serial UART cable with a USB-A connector for the host end and three leads on the device end. See cable information for details. Purchase a 3-pin connector using crimp-style contacts for the device end of the cable. See connector information for details.

SETTING UP AND CONFIGURING THE DEVICE Connector Information Description Manufacturer P/N or Product Number Contacts 3-pin connector with JST-ZHR-3 SZH-002T-P0.5 crimp-style contacts (female socket) Restoring User Defined Settings You need: A pin, paperclip, or similar thin object that can fit into the reset hole. To restore user defined settings for an mPower device: Locate the hole in the panel labeled RESET.
Page 26
SETTING UP AND CONFIGURING THE DEVICE For mLinux models: Press and hold the RESET button for less than 5 seconds, then release. Holding it beyond 5 seconds resets an mLinux device to factory defaults. The status LED will keep blinking normally for a couple of seconds until the unit resets. Then the status light will stay solid while the device reboots.
Use only the power cord provided with the device. Using any other power cord voids the warranty and can damage the device. To power up the device: Install the desired MultiTech accessory card or cards into the slots at the back of the device. Refer to the appropriate installation documentation for the accessory card. Note: Some models already have MTAC cards installed.
