Starting up the terminal

To switch on the terminal, use the Power switch in the connector panel. It 
normally takes one or two seconds for the terminal to switch on.

Normally the ignition function is not used in maritime installations. Instead 
you may want to use the remote on/off function described in the next section.

If you have connected the ignition system of your vessel to the I/O connector, 
you may leave the power switch in the “on” position and the terminal will 
switch on/off when you start/stop the engine of your vessel. When the engine 
is stopped the terminal is in standby mode, meaning that only the primary 
parts of the system are kept alive. The standby current is max. 15 mA when the 
ignition is off. For information on how to connect to the I/O connector, refer to 
the installation manual for the TracPhone FB500 system.

You must set up the ignition function in the web interface. For further 
information, see Configuring the I/O interface on page 110.

If a switch is connected to the remote on/off pins in the DC connector, you may 
leave the power switch in the “on” position and use the remote switch to turn 
the terminal on and off. When the remote switch is off, the terminal is off. 
However, if you leave the power switch on the terminal in the “on” position,
