Replacement of the SIM card in the Base Station (if required)
It is not recommended to replace the factory mounted SIM-Card, unless it has been fully verified, that the
SIM-card cannot obtain sufficient connectivity in the area.
Prior to commencing the replacement, it is important to consult your distributor, as settings in the
modem must be changed.
If the SIM-Card provider is changed, the APN settings must be updated by connecting a laptop via a
LAN-cable. A guide for this can be found on the FarmDroid knowledge base,
To replace the SIM-card, the cover of the Base Station has to be removed. Before doing this, make sure that
the power is not connected.
In order to install the SIM-card, follow the instructions below:
1. Arrange for Distributor to update the APN settings prior to commencing SIM-Card replacement.
2. Make sure the power plug has been disconnected.
3. Remove the cover of the Base Station.
4. Locate the 4G (Secomea) module. Remove the existing SIM-Card by pressing down gently with a
small screwdriver until you hear a small “click”. Now remove the screwdriver and the SIM-card will be
released.
5. Insert the replacement SIM-card in the slot as illustrated in the picture below, and press it gently
down with a screwdriver
until you hear a small “click”.
