Installing your device
Step 1: Insert the SIM card
Before inserting the SIM card, examine it for signs of damage or deformation that
could prevent it being safely inserted or allowing it to become stuck in the unit.
Examine the gold contact point of the SIM for signs of wear or damage that may
prevent it from working correctly.
Press the SIM Eject button to eject the SIM card tray. Place the SIM card in the
tray and then insert the loaded tray into the SIM card slot with the gold side facing
up. The SIM tray should slide easily into the slot, do not force the loaded SIM tray
into the slot.
Step 2: Attach the antennas
The NTC-220 Series Router is shipped with caps on the Main, Auxiliary and GPS
antenna sockets. To attach the supplied antennas, rst remove the antenna socket
caps from the Main and Auxiliary antenna sockets by turning them in an anticlockwise direction, then screw the antennas onto the sockets by turning them in
a clockwise direction. Please refer to the Device overview section for the antenna
socket layout. If you have purchased a GPS antenna, remove the socket cap from
the GPS antenna socket and attach the antenna to the socket in the same manner.
