Before Starting
Check that all cables are long enough to reach between the chosen Qube 300 location, the antenna location,
and the ignition loom (or fuse box).
Test the proposed antenna location to check whether it will give the best performance.
Check that the SIM Card has been installed into the Qube 300 (see Section 4.3 for the location).
