Installing your simcard
New SIM cards will need registering before they can be used. Full details of how this is done can
normally be found in the SIM card pack. It will normally require that the SIM card is inserted into a
mobile phone, a number dialled and instructions followed. While the SIM is in the mobile phone it
would be a good time to disable call diverts, ring back and disable features such as voicemail and
text alerts. Please be advised that if the intercom will be used on a regular basis, we would
recommend a contract based sim card as pay as you go call charges can be as high as 25p per
call.
The GSM Gate Intercom has a built in “sim active function” which keeps track of the units activity.
If there has been no usage for 6 weeks it will send out a text message to a preset recorded
number to keep the simcard alive. This then eliminates the problems of sim’s being shut down if
they are unused for 3 months. Please activate and put credit on your simcard then disable the
voicemail using the following codes
Vodaphone:
call 1210
Tesco
call 2915
T-Mobile:
call 222
O2
call 1760
Orange:
call 4502
Giff Gaff
call 1626
EE - send the text message command VM OFF to 150
Ensure the unit is powered down before inserting the simcard
1: Slide the simcard in to the door making sure that the clipped corner of the simcard
lines up with the clipped corner of the sim holder. (See picture on page 2).
2: Connect 12 volts DC to the input connector as per figure 1.
*Important DC Only - Please use the power supply that is supplied with the unit
Once power has been applied (referring to figure 1) the
blue
network LED light will flash once
every second. Once a signal has been found the
green
LED will come on and stay on.
To check the strength being received please send the text message

highest signal strength score. The signal strength should be at least a score of 10 for reliability. For
use with the mobile network “three” you can only use the 4G setting.
