Set-Up Instructions 

 

1.  SIM Installation (USE Caution here) 

 
The first step is to install the SIM.  Remove the battery (you may need to lift a 
Mylar cover over the SIM chip).  Slide the silver lock to the right and lift the left side 
of the SIM holder.  Insert the SIM with the gold contacts facing down and to the 
right.  The notched corner should be to the lower left as shown below: 
 

 

 
Push the SIM holder back down and slide the silver lock to the left to lock it in 
place (replace the Mylar cover, if applicable) 
 

2. GSMDemo Installation 

 
GSMDemo.exe should already be installed on the PPT 2837/PDT 8137.  If it is not 
there, you will need to obtain it from the software download site at Symbol 
(

http://devzone.symbol.com

), and install it on the handheld device ActiveSync. 

The purpose of this is to verify your environment.  This software will enable you to 
verify that the device can connect and establish the proper settings.
