1.3 Compatibility

The GX LTE can be used with any of the 

GX Devices

.

The GX LTE requires Venus OS v2.60 or newer to be installed on the GX Device.

1.4 When to use a mobile router instead

The GX LTE provides an internet connection for the 

GX-device

 only. There is no option to share the

internet to laptops, phones, or other devices.

For installations where more devices need internet, such as a yacht or RV, consider installing a mobile
router instead. 

More information here.

2. Installation

Mount the device and connect the antenna. Consider using the outdoor antenna when installing the
GX LTE in a closed metal enclosure or car or van.

Insert the SIM card. You will need to eject the SIM card tray with a pen or other pointy object. Be
aware that the SIM card tray sits slightly recessed inside the unit. Be sure to push it all the way in.
