Set the "PLM Enable Status (Billing)" configuration to "Disabled". Refer to Illustration 18.Note: This action effectively disables the 2G cellular radio in the PL121 satellite radio. Harness to the PL121 radio should remain connected to the PL121. If PL121 radio is not connected user will receive an active code 1250-9 Remote Communication Module: Abnormal Update Rate. With some installations, code 1250-9 Remote Communication Module: Abnormal Update Rate will be inactive if the PL121 is connected. 1250-9 Remote Communication Module: Abnormal Update Rate will only be visible with Cat ET. This code is not shown on operator display and does not limit functionality of the system. GPS and Satellite LED’s will continue to blink when machine is power cycled on. Green LED will be on solid only if R-Term is used and engine is running.
