Redwing CDMA for Bell Mobility - Quick Start, version 2.40
Your Redwing can be used with either DC (available in most automobiles) or 110 AC (standard
US wall power) with the appropriate power adapter (available from AirLink).
The power cable positive lead should be connected to the battery or power source positive termi-
nal. The power cable negative lead should be connected to the battery or power source negative ter-
minal. The Redwing has an internal polysilicon circuit breaker that opens at 0.5 to 1.0 amps of
current.
When your Redwing is connected to power and an antenna, there is a specific pattern to the lights
to indicate its operation mode. Refer to the User Guide for more information on light patterns.

Connecting power
Connecting the Redwing to a computer or other device
Your Redwing’s serial port can be connected directly to most computers or other devices using a
standard straight through cable. If you have a DCE device, you will need a null modem or null
modem cable.
Your Redwing can also be connected to a USB to serial device connected to a computer or other
device which does not have an available serial port but does have USB.
Redwing Indicator Lights
Net (network) - Indicates when there is traffic on the network.
Pwr (power) - Indicates the power adapter is connected and there is power getting to the modem.
The Reset button performs the same function as unplugging power from the modem and plugging
it back in. Reset will not alter any saved configuration settings.
Refer to the User Guide for your modem or the AirLink website for AirLink prod-
uct warranties.
