Important modem
information
GSM: Spectrum Technologies recommends the purchase of a 3G
Pay As You Go SIM Card and Service Plan with voice and text capabilities. For example, a $25 Pay As You Go SIM card with a 90
day life would work well.
Be sure to have the retailer properly test the SIM card to verify it
works before leaving the store.
IMPORTANT: If the SIM card is running low of funds, the Cellular
Alert might believe a call went through when it actually was intercepted by the carrier to play a recording notifying you of low card
funds. Check for these messages regularly by testing the SIM card
in a cell phone.
CDMA: Spectrum's CDMA Modems do not have a removable ‘SIM’
card and typically do not offer Pay As You Go plans. Consult with
your cellular provider to obtain a cost effective plan. A machine-tomachine plan with voice and text capabilities will work with modem
technology.
CDMA modems need to be ‘provisioned’ after a cellular plan is activated. THE CDMA MODEM CANNOT COMPLETE A VOICE CALL
OR TEXT MESSAGE UNTIL THIS IS DONE. PLEASE SEE PAGE
15—PROVISIONING CDMA MODEM.
Some carriers send a text message or voice call after the first call of
the day on prepaid accounts. This may cause the first call or calls to
fail as your carrier sends welcome texts and screen banners. If your
test call or text fails, please wait a minute and retry.
Be sure to test your Cellular Alert to ensure calls and/or texts are
successfully received before it is used in production.

setup
PRO models that contain a GSM cellular module require a SIM card to
make a voice call or send text messages to a designated phone. It also
has the option of setting a relay.
A SIM card and service plan (Pay As You Go recommended) is necessary but not included.
SIM Card Setup
A SIM card may be purchased from a cellular
phone carrier.
Detach antenna from
the Velcro at the top of
the case. Then remove
the module from the
Cellular Alert case by
gently pulling the mod-
ule off the Velcro that is underneath it and sliding it up to disengage it from the DB15 Silver
Connecter as shown in the picture to the right. Remove the
orange connector for the power
cable.
Remove the SIM card tray from
the end of the module pressing
the small button next to it. The
tray will slide out. See picture
to right.
Place the SIM card into the tray. Slide the SIM card tray back into the
slot until it locks making sure the SIM card is facing the top of the module.
