Locating the device's IMEI number
The IMEI number is a unique 15-digit number that identifies the cellular module installed
on your device. Your mobile broadband operator may need to know the IMEI number of
your device in order to register the device with the network and activate your mobile
broadband data plan.
If your Ranger 7 data collector is mobile broadband enabled, the IMEI number will be
printed on the serial number label under the battery.
Alternatively, to check the IMEI number in the operating system:
1. Tap Settings / Network and Internet / Cellular.
2. Select the Cellular module icon, then select Advanced options.
The cellular module properties (including the IMEI) are displayed in the Properties
section.
3. To copy the IMEI number to the clipboard, tap Copy, then paste the text into your
desired application (for example, Notepad, or the Email client) using the Paste
command or the Ctrl+V keypad shortcut.
If you cannot find the IMEInumber for your device, contact your reseller.
