protect the device and the periphery and only get damaged
by extensive surcharge. You have to send the device to Telic
or to your supplier.

6.2 The device doesn’t log into the GPRS network
Possible issue source
Troubleshooting
The Telic SBC-AVL isn’t in a GSM covered
area.
Please check whether there is GSM reception in this area
(e.g. using a cell phone) and move eventually to another
area.
The SIM card in the SBC-AVL is new and has
not yet been activated
Please check, whether the SIM card is already activated.
This can be done e.g. by putting the SIM card in your cell
phone and checking whether or not your cell phone is able
to log into a GSM network.
The SIM card has been locked by the
provider.
Please check whether the SIM card is locked.
This can be done e.g. by putting the SIM card into your cell
phone and checking whether your cell phone is able to log
into a GSM network.
Is this not the case, than please try to make a phone call. If
you are successful, the SIM card is definitely not locked.
The prepaid bonus is exhausted.
Please recharge the SIM card placed in the device.
The prepaid SIM card is no longer valid.
Prepaid SIM cards will lose their validity, if they aren’t
reloaded on a regular basis (often after 12 or 24 months).
In this case usually you have to buy a new SIM card.
The PIN code of the card hasn’t been
deactivated
Respectively
The PIN on the SIM card is not
corresponding to “0000”.
Please remove the SIM card from the device and check the PIN
code.
The PIN code has to be deactivated or has to be set to “0000”.
After a triple wrong entry of the PIN, unblocking the SIM card
requires the PUK.
The SIM card hasn’t been inserted into the
SIM card holder in the correct way.
Please check the correct position of the SIM card in the card
holder.
The GPRS service is not yet activated.
Please ask your provider whether the GPRS function is
already activated for the SIM card in use.
