install a SIM card. Purchase a SIM card, activated for use with a GPRS network, from a
Service Provider serving the area where the terminal will operate. The SIM card must
support operation on 1.8 V or 3 V. The terminal does not support 5 V SIM cards. You
may want to record the SIM card’s ICCID number in APPENDIX B.

terminal. This could result in physical damage
to the SIM card.
