a remote location, the operator must turn power to the base station modem ON.)

Modem Indicator Lights
When the monitor is switched ON, the modem’s RD (receive data) and SD (send data) lights flash
for several seconds. The OH (on hook) indicator is lit when the monitor starts communicating with
the remote modem. When both modems connect, the CD (carrier detect) is lit. The SD and RD
lights flash as data is being transferred.
After the transmission is complete and the monitor is turned OFF, the HS, TR and MR indicators
will always remain lit at the local modem.
