NOTE:
Enrollment with C24 Communications should be performed before turning on the 3G4000 unit.Before inserting or
removing the SIM card, please ensure the unit is turned off.
STEP 1 - Initialize the 3G4010CF with C24 Communications
The 3G4010CF can be initialized with C24 Communications by:
VRU - 1-866-910-3865
web - www.connect24.com
mobile - m.connect24.com
To complete enrolment, a C24 profile, installer ID/PIN (or web credentials) and the 20-digit SIM number are required.
NOTE:
The SIM activation process with the cellular carrier typically takes between five and ten minutes to complete.
Step 2 - Determine Best Signal Location
1. Remove the screws and the front cover of the 3G4010CF metal enclosure [1].
2. Fit the antenna [2] (ensure that the bolt [3] is fastened tightly).
3. Connect the antenna to the 3G Radio [5] and ensure the connector is secure.
NOTE:
Before inserting or removing the SIM card, please ensure the unit is powered down.
4. Ensure the SIM card is placed in its socket [6].
5. Power up the 3G4010CF module [4]Use a DC power source rated 12V/0.7A connected to +/- 12V terminals [9]
Step 2a – SIM card is activated.
The red LED will be on solid, the blue LED will be off and the signal strength LEDs will display the average signal strength. In
this state, the 3G4010CF is registered to the cellular network.

If the signal strength is too low (bottom signal LED off or flashing), the 3G4010CF will move to
Step 3
and scan for carriers with
sufficient signal strength and attach to the carrier. If the 3G4010CF is connected to a carrier with sufficient signal strength (min-
imum of bottom signal strength LED on solid), it will move to
Step 4
.
Step 2b – SIM card is not activated
The red LED will flash, the blue LED will be off and the signal strength LEDs will display the average signal strength.

In this state, the 3G4010CF is unable to register to the cellular network because it is inactive. The signal strength indicated is
from
any
nearby cell tower (including cellular towers belonging to non-roaming partners) and does
not
necessarily reflect the
signal strength of the intended network. The 3G4010CF will remain in this state until the SIM is activated. Once the SIM is activ-
ated, the 3G4010CF will move to
Step 2a
.
Step 3 – Carrier Scanning due to insufficient signal strength
The 3G4010CF will scan the surrounding cellular network and connect to the carrier to provide a signal strength of at least 7
CSQ. When this action is being performed, all four LEDs will activate to show a scanning sequence. The LEDs will cycle from
top to bottom and then bottom to top. This cycle will continue until the 3G4010CF is connected to a carrier with a signal strength
above 7 CSQ (minimum of bottom signal strength LED on solid).
