Ignition Switch Sensing
If this option is fitted and wired, the phone can be turned off
and on with the ignition switch depending on the setting of
Function 34. However if a call is in progress and the ignition is
switched OFF, the phone will stay ON until the end of the call.
Using Function 34, the Optus MobileSat S2 provides three
ignition sense options.
• Off
• Ignition Lock enable
• Ignition Lock disable.

Horn Alert
The Horn Alert function of the Optus MobileSat S2 allows you
to be away from the vehicle/installation but still be made
aware of incoming calls being received by sounding a horn or
flashing lights. The phone is kept on after ignition is turned off
so that the phone may still receive calls.
WARNING:
ENSURE THAT STATE LAWS PERMIT THE
OPERATION OF THE HORN ALERT FEATURE
BEFORE INSTALLATION.
Criteria for Horn alert
• Horn (and/or lights) wired to alert relay.
• FCN 32 turned ON.
• Vehicle Ignition is OFF (indicates vehicle unattended).
When horn alert is activated, the phone is kept powered up
even after the ignition is turned off. This option runs the risk
of flattening the vehicle battery.
To preserve the battery, the phone will turn itself off after a
period of time that can be set from the handset.
By toggling through the FCN 32 selections you can set the
phone to turn off after 1, 2, 3 ..... 10 hours.
For installation where battery drain is not a concern, selecting
the 'On' option inhibits the phone from shutting itself off.
A 2 minute test option is also a selection provided to test the
horn alert shutdown operation.
If there is a call in progress when the timer expires, then the
call will proceed but the phone will turn off when the call is
PWR
completed. The button can be used to turn off the phone
at any time.
The timer may be changed by selecting FCN 32 and entering a
new timer value.
