Figure 2-1 Installation Chart

Installation of SIM/UIM card:

Firstly power off the IP MODEM, and press the out button of the SIM/UIM card outlet with a
needle object. Then the SIM/UIM card sheath will flick out at once. Put SIM/UIM card into the
card sheath (Pay attention to put the side which has metal point outside), and insert card sheath
back to the SIM/UIM card outlet.

Warning: Forbid to install SIM/UIM card when powered!

Installation of antenna:

Screw the SMA male pin of the cellular antenna to the female SMA interface of the IP

MODEM with sign “ANT”.

Screw the SMA male pin of the GPS antenna to the female SMA interface of the IP MODEM

with sign “GPS”.

Warning: The cellular antenna and the GPS antenna can not be connected wrongly. And the

antennas must be screwed tightly, or the signal quality of antenna will be influenced!
