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 simcard is inserted
into a mobile phone, a number dialed and instructions followed. While the SIM is in the mobile
phone it would be a good time to disable any PIN codes, call diverts, ring back and disable
features such as
voicemail
and
text
alerts.
Details of how to do this is found on the SIM card provider’s web site or by calling their
customer services. Please use one of the following SIM card providers (Vodafone, TMobile,
O2/Giff Gaff or Orange). We do not recommend using
3
at this present time
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 unit’s
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 problem of sims being
shut down if they are unused for 3 months.
Activate and put credit on your simcard and disable 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
Please see page 5 if you wish to keep your voicemail activated.

*Important DC Only
Once power has been applied (referring to figure 1) the
blue
network LED light will flash once
every second whilst searching for a mobile signal. Once it has found one it will then revert to
flashing once every 3 seconds.
You can identify the signal strength by the 3 LED’s.
Red
– poor,
Amber
- average,
Green
– good
You can also check signal strength by holding down the
P1 BUTTON
for 3 seconds.
We strongly recommend that the unit has at least an average signal strength for reliability.
