- Please make sure to select "Cat 1 and above Triple-punch SIM card" to get the Micro SIM (3FF) size
cutout.
Do not select the CAT-M options as those may not be compatible.
• Discuss SIM card data plan with service provider (online or retail outlet).
• You will need to provide them with IMEI number of the modem. Each Modem has a unique IMEI number
(sticker of this number is on the packaging box and on the gateway cap).
• The Service provider will provide you with APN (Access Point Name) alpha or numeric number.
The MultiTech Modem uses a Micro-SIM sized sim card, slightly larger than a nano sim card.
2.4 SIM card installation
The sim card is correctly installed when:
• Inserted, it depresses an internal spring until it clicks into place.
• The angled cut of the sim card is facing to the right side of the modem.
• It is facing toward the slot into which it is to be inserted.
• The “logo” side (non-circuit side) of the SIM card is also facing outward toward the operator, same as the
label side of the modem.
