STEP 1: SIM INSERTION
1. Unpack the modem and accessories. Your
service provider will have provided you with a
SIM card.
2. Insert SIM provided by your Service Provider
into the SIM holder inside the battery
compartment as shown.
3. Now install the battery by hooking the battery tab in the rectangular opening in
the battery compartment and firmly pressing the battery onto the latch on the
other side. The seal around the battery should snugly fit between the battery and
the enclosure with no pinch points visible. A good seal is necessary to maintain
the IP55 rating of the terminal.
