2. Run Function 95 and confirm the "No Load" and "Loaded" levels are both at least 12volts. 

3. Reboot and run Function 80; 
          - Make sure the modem runs through the following steps and reaches "Initialization Complete";
                  - Power On Modem
                  - Check / Change PIN Code
                  - Registration Network
                  - Check Configuration

          - If the process gets stuck for a long time on any step, or cancels immediately after a specific step,                 please reach out to the Help Desk for assistance. 

4. Replace the modem, preferably with one borrowed from a working meter, and retest. 
          - Rerun Function 80 and check the modem initialization completes.
