The optional internal GSM modem offers the advantage of being internally powered and is
fully compatible with the unit.

The 1800/1900 MHz magnetic antenna is supplied together with the internal modem option.
The antenna cable is 2 meters long. The antenna is intended to be placed outside of the
genset panel for the best signal reception.

Do not power-up the D-500/700 unit before inserting the antenna
and SIM Card.

The module requires a GPRS enabled SIM card for full
functionality.

Voice-only type SIM cards will usually not permit GPRS
functionality.
