• Test electrical outlet for power. If no power is present, consult electrician.
• If the outlet has power, plug the modem power adapter into the outlet and test adapter’s
barrel plug (the end that plugs into modem) for power.
o If no power is present, follow RMA procedures for the power adapter.
o If power is present, reconnect to the modem power input and re-check PWR LED status.
Check your cellular carrier map for the communication coverage in your area. If coverage is
present in the area, move the WAM to a location where the CD light illuminates.
• Make sure you have 4G signal strength for the provider with any other device
• Power-cycle the modem, if the problem persists, follow RMA procedures.

Check your cellular carrier map for the communication coverage in your area. If coverage is
present in the area, move the WAM to a location where 1 or more LEDs light up. If there is no
coverage, contact PowerFleet.
If any of these troubleshooting remedies fail, please refer to the following RMA instructions:
• Complete a return merchandise authorization (RMA) form (Appendix A).
• Call PowerFleet Customer Service for the RMA number.
• Vehicles will continue to function while the WAM is being repaired/ replaced; however, no system configuration
changes (e.g. adding operators) will be possible, and system data will only be stored, not available/ viewable,
until an operable WAM is restored.
