4. Powering Up

‍

‍Step 1: Choosing Your Power Source

• Select one method of powering up the device. Your options include USB-C, Molex-SL, or RJ12/RJ45 connections. Consult the section on power supply options.

Step 2: Connecting Antennas

• Attach the antennas to the designated PilotAware and ADS-B inputs on the FX device. Consult the section on Installation.

Step 3: Applying Power

• Once the antennas are connected, apply power to the device using your chosen method.
  ‍

Step 4: Connecting to Wi-Fi

• The Rosetta-FX Wi-Fi link will now be available. Select the FX Wi-Fi and use password '12345678'.

Step 5: Monitoring LED Indicators

• On powering up, observe the four LED indicators on the front of the FX device. Initially, the three LEDs on the left will light up RED, and the right-hand LED will remain off.
• These LEDs represent ADS-B in, PilotAware Transceiver, GPS, and iGRID functionality respectively.
• 3 colours (plus off ie no LED) are used to indicate the current state.
• RED:     Not functioning or acquiring a signal.
• Blue:    Intermediate action or temporary loss of signal or function.
• Green: Fully operational and functioning correctly.

Understanding the LED Indicators:

ADSB Indicator: (1st left-hand LED with ‘Jet ICON’)

1. 🟢 Green: ADS-B signals are being correctly received.
2. 🔴 Red:     No ADS-B received for over a minute. This is only a fault if continuous. It can occur regularly at night, in remote areas, or when running on the ground.

PAW Indicator: (2nd LED with 'Transmitter ICON')

1. 🟢 Green: The PilotAware transmitter and receiver are functioning properly.
2. 🔴 Red:     Indicates a fault in the PilotAware transceiver if remains continuous in flight.

GPS Indicator: (3rd LED with ‘Satellite ICON’)

1. 🟢 Green: The GPS has a lock and is functioning correctly.
2. 🔴 Red:     The GPS is acquiring a lock. The initial lock may take longer as it collects local ephemeris and Almanac data. To expedite this, power up the device in a location with a clear view of the sky. The initial lock may take several seconds, or several minutes depending on location and frequency of use.

iGRID Indicator:(4th right-hand LED with ‘Chain ICON’)

1. ⚪ No LED: No Wi-Fi hotspot connection has not yet been established.
2. 🔵 Blue:      WiFi connection to the hotspot established.
3. 🟢 Green:   FX is connected to the PilotAware servers, enabling iGRID functionality. Consult the iGRID setting page on how to pair with your mobile hotspot.
