Our daily monitoring of the source using the 1.3m telescope in Cerro Tololo Inter-America Observatory operated by the Small and Moderate Aperture Research Telescope System (SMARTS) was used to trigger a series of target-of-opportunity (ToO) observations of the source using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite (RXTE). The X-ray colors and temporal variability studies suggest that the source was in a powerlaw dominated state featuring high rms variability in the lightcurve and dominance of hard photons during this LIS. The ToO observations were continued until the source made a transition to the canonical thermal dominated or high/soft state.5 pages, 3 figures, uses elsart.cls.
