The following are the Grandview RemoteConnect indicator lamp functions.
POWER LED
— When the Power LED is lighted blue continuously, this means DC power is being supplied to the adapter at the
proper voltage level. Grandview RemoteConnect requires +5 VDC at 350 mA that is supplied through the USB
connector or +12 VDC that is supplied from the vehicle through the 15-pin connector.
— When the power LED is off, this means that the Grandview RemoteConnect is not receiving sufficient power.
WIFI LED
— When the WiFi LED is lighted blue continuously, this means that the 802.11 radio is powered. The WiFi radio is
only powered when connected to +12VDC, USB is not sufficient for the radio’s power needs. The Grandview
RemoteConnect will function according to the wireless configuration settings.
— When the WiFi LED is off, this means that the 802.11 wireless radio is not ready.
BLUETOOTH LED
— When the Bluetooth LED is lighted blue continuously, this means that the Bluetooth radio is powered. The
Bluetooth radio is only powered when connected to +12VDC, USB is not sufficient for the radio’s power needs.
— When the Bluetooth LED is off, this means that the Bluetooth radio is not ready to communicate.
LTE LED
—When the LTE LED is lighted blue continuously, this means that the cellular radio is powered. The cellular radio is
not powered, when connected to +12 VDC.
—When the LTE LED is flashing blue. this means that the cellular radio has established a connection with the
wireless carrier.

CAN1 LED
— The CAN 1 blue LED indicates that the Grandview RemoteConnect is physically connected to a CAN data link.
— A CAN 1 blue flashing LED indicates that the Grandview RemoteConnect is communicating with an RP1210
application on the CAN data link.
CAN2 LED
— The CAN 2 blue LED indicates that the Grandview RemoteConnect is physically connected to a CAN data link.
— A CAN 2 blue flashing LED indicates that the Grandview RemoteConnect is communicating with an RP1210
application on the CAN data link.
J1708 / CAN3 LED
The J1708 / CAN 3 LED is multiplexed. While the Grandview RemoteConnect adapter is physically connected to
different data links, it shares the LED between the J1708 network and the CAN 3 channel. This is because the
J1708 and CAN 3 networks are mutually exclusive in the vehicle service port connector. Your vehicle will either
have 3 CAN channels or it can have 2 CAN channels plus J1708. The vehicle will not have CAN 3 and J1708
together.
— The J1708 / CAN 3 blue LED indicates that the Grandview RemoteConnect is physically connected to a J1708
data link or CAN datalink.
— A J1708 / CAN 3 blue flashing LED indicates that the Grandview RemoteConnect is communicating with an
RP1210 application on the J1708 data link or CAN datalink.!
