surge protection and voltage regulation to maintain the G2 in an “on” status regardless of what is happening with the AC/DC power source.
a 7.5 amp hour gel cell battery and installed in such a manner to make it easy for an end user to change. Circuitry is designed such that if the battery fails, the portable kit will continue to power the MSATe from either the AC or DC power source.
a rocker style on/off switch that illuminates the color green when in the “on” position.
The kit is equipped with a green color charging light when go-kit is attached to either a 110 or 12V power source and this light should illuminate whether the unit is powered on or not.
a flashing red light that blinks when voltage on the battery drops to or below 12Volts, specifically when AC or DC power has been interrupted and the unit is operating only on battery power with power dropping.
Fuses are mounted on the face plate for easily accessed by the user. Fuses are marked as to their individual purpose, and are standard such that they are readily/easily obtained by user on the aftermarket.
two cigarette lighters with leashed/hinged plugs or covers.
an optional external speaker with volume control independent from that of the MSATe handset that will not mute the audio on the handset itself. This external speaker has a mounting capability within the kit such that the lid may close with the speaker installed. Speaker must have a minimum of 15’ of appropriate cable to separate it from the kit itself.
Warning stickers are prominently displayed cautioning the user that: Unit should only be powered on with antenna attached (i.e. do not turn the unit on without an attached antenna; and do not attach an antenna to a MSATe that is already powered on.)
Unit will not power from an AC and DC power source at the same time.
The interior of the lid shall offer “office” features such as a white board, or a plastic envelope which contains paperwork that can be seen through the envelope. The lid could accommodate a place for yellow, self sticking memo notes or a fully contained clip board sitting next to a white board.
