Important Notice

Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the gateway are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the gateway should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Robustel accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the gateway, or for failure of the gateway to transmit or receive such data.

Safety Precautions

General

The gateway generates radio frequency (RF) power. When using the gateway care must be taken on safety issues related to RF interference as well as regulations of RF equipment.

Do not use your gateway in aircraft, hospitals, petrol stations or in places where using cellular products is prohibited.

Be sure that the gateway will not be interfering with nearby equipment. For example: pacemakers or medical equipment. The antenna of the gateway should be away from computers, office equipment, home appliance, etc.

An external antenna must be connected to the gateway for proper operation. Only uses approved antenna with the gateway. Please contact authorized distributor on finding an approved antenna.

Always keep the antenna with minimum safety distance of 26.6 cm or more from human body. Do not put the antenna inside metallic box, containers, etc.

Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. Gateway may be used at this time.

Using the gateway in vehicle

Check for any regulation or law authorizing the use of GSM in vehicle in your country before installing the gateway.

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the gateway while cellular in control of a vehicle.

Install the gateway by qualified personnel. Consult your vehicle distributor for any possible interference of electronic parts by the gateway.

The gateway should be connected to the vehicle’s supply system by using a fuse-protected terminal in the vehicle’s fuse box.

Be careful when the gateway is powered by the vehicle’s main battery. The battery may be drained after extended period.

Protecting your gateway

To ensure error-free usage, please install and operate your gateway with care. Do remember the follow:

Do not expose the gateway to extreme conditions such as high humidity / rain, high temperatures, direct sunlight, caustic / harsh chemicals, dust, or water.

Do not try to disassemble or modify the gateway. There is no user serviceable part inside and the warranty would be void.

Robustel GoRugged M1000 Pro V2 User Guide

Do not drop, hit or shake the gateway. Do not use the gateway under extreme vibrating conditions.

Do not pull the antenna or power supply cable. Attach/detach by holding the connector.

Connect the gateway only according to the instruction manual. Failure to do it will void the warranty.

In case of problem, please contact authorized distributor.

3.Insert the SIM card, and you need press the SIM card with your fingers until you hear “a cracking sound”. Then use a screwdriver to screw the cover.

Removing SIM card

1.Make sure your adapter is disconnected.

2.Press the SIM card until you hear “a cracking sound”, then the SIM card will pop up to be pulled out.

Note:

1.Don’t forget screw the cover for again-theft.

2.Don’t touch the metal surface of the SIM card in case information in the card is lost or destroyed.

3.Don’t bend or scratch your SIM card. Keep the card away from electricity and magnetism.

4.Make sure to disconnect the power source from your gateway before inserting and removing your SIM card.

2.5Connect the External Antenna (SMA Type)

Connect this to an external antenna with SMA male connector. Make sure the antenna is for the correct frequency as your GSM operator with impedance of 50ohm, and also connector is secured tightly.
