5.5 Antennas

Before turning the i50 on for the first time, ensure all antennas have been attached. Note: antennas

are not normally supplied with the unit. Operating without antennas may cause high voltages on the

modem power amplifiers, possibly damaging the modem circuits.

See section 1.2 for important information about antenna selection.

Note: to allow automatic noise profiling, the GPS antenna should be attached BEFORE turning

the unit on.

5.6 Initial Set Up

Important: install and run the i50 Programmer software to program the unit settings (see

section 7.0).

Use the Programmer to configure:

- How the I/O lines and serial ports have been connected

- Reporting intervals

- Which events will be generated by the i50

- Network and hardware parameters

- Accelerometer angles (also see section 9.0)
