Installing the
Antenna
• Cellular band antennas should be mounted more than 30 cm (1
foot) from other antennas.
• Do not install the antenna in a closed metallic enclosure (such as a
cabinet or the trunk of a car).
• For safety reasons, mount the antenna at least 23 cm (9 inches)
away from the body of a person.
• The length of the antenna cable may affect the signal strength.
Choose the appropriate cable type and length.
To install the cellular band antenna:
1. Thread the antenna cable through the vehicle so the cable can
reach the front plate of the modem.
2. Connect the cable to the SMA connector finger tight. Do not use
tools.
3. Then using your fingers,
remove the SIM card tray from the
modem.
4. Place the SIM card into the
tray with the gold contact facing
upwards.
5. Insert the SIM card tray into
the modem, with the SIM facing
down, and press on the plastic
edge until it is firmly in place.
The SIM card is now installed.
