1.1 Module Identification
The module identification label is located on the bottom of your 615M-1 device. This label contains the product part
number, the serial number, FCC and IC identifications, as well as carrier specific information that is required when
activating your data account.
The module identification label contains information for GSM and CDMA:
• The
GSM
information contains an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number in decimal format.
This number is used by the GSM network only to identify and validate the device. It has no permanent or semi-
permanent relation to the subscriber.
• The
CDMa
information contains the device MEID numbers. This number is required by your cellular carrier
when activating your data contract. The MEID number is provided in both decimal and hexadecimal formats.
The format required for activation is carrier dependent.
