Why did my device not power on after I connected the power cable?

Confirm that the correct cable is attached to the appropriate port. The power port is located on the left-hand side of the device’s bottom panel. Your SkyLink kit will come with one of the following power adapters:

  • 12V Cigarette Lighter
  • 12V DC Power Supply
  • POE Injector
  • AC/DC Power Adapter


After verifying the correct cable and port, disconnect and then re-apply the power cable into the port. Connect the adapter into the appropriate power source (e.g., a wall or vehicle outlet).

The power LED indicator located on the top panel of the device will show a steady blue light when the device is ready to use. For additional information, please see the SkyLink Installation Guide.

NOTE: If self-installing cellular and Iridium SIM cards, verify that they are in the correct holders. Additionally, ensure they are not placed in the micro SD slot also present in the connectivity port.
