6.2 Insert the SIM card holder inside the device

The DISCO-B4 device is equipped with a GSM modem. To use it, you must insert a 
SIM card in the appropriate holder inside the device. There is no SIM card shipped 
with   the   unit.  The   customers   must  provide   their  own  SIM  card   for  use.  The   unit  has 
altogether 12 screw holes. Because the SIM card must be inserted by the customers 
only 2 screws are screwed on.

Attention

:  The   opening   and   closing   of   the   housing   must   be   performed   by  

qualified electricians.

The SIM card is obtained from your mobile provider and must be activated for GSM 
data services before using it. Together with the SIM card, you receive a 4-digit PIN 
number. Entering of the PIN allows your device to access the mobile network.
To insert the SIM card into the SIM card holder inside the device, follow the steps 
below:

1) 

Remove  the power  supply and  any other  connections from  the device, then  
place the device on the back. The housing has been screwed down by only 2  
screws for quick opening and inserting the SIM card. These are located opposite  
to each other on the housing ring. Unscrew these 2 screws 

(1),

 

(2)

 by using a Torx 

T6 Screwdriver. In the delivered package there are also 10 other screws which  
should be used to assemble the housing after inserting the SIM card.   

2) 

After unscrewing both screws, carefully open the housing cover 

(3)

 by using your 

fingernails and then pull them apart using your finger. If you cannot open the  
case with your fingernails, then use a flat non-metal object. The case has a black 
rubber ring around the lower case of the housing which is advertised to make the 
device whether proof. Improper handling of this rubber ring can lose the whether 
proof capability of the the device housing.

Attention

: Do not remove any of the cable connectors inside the device case!

3)  Locate the SIM card holder  

(4)

  on the side where the PCB revision ID is shown.  

Push the slider (metal lock) of the SIM card-holder 

(4)

 in the direction marked “-

into the SIM card

-

holder 

(

with care not to damage any components of the circuit board) 

- the bevelled corner on  

the SIM card is facing toward the top of the card-holder and the golden contact  
area is facing downwards when the holder closes. Push the SIM card down until it  
stops. Make sure, that the SIM card properly fits in the SIM card-holder.

4) Flap the card-holder back (without force), then press the slider (metal lock), and  

at     the   same   time move   it in   the direction marked "
