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 to disable features such as
voicemail
and
text
alerts.
The Auto Dialler 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 a text message to a preset recorded number
to keep the simcard active. This then eliminates the problems 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
ENSURE THE UNIT IS POWERED DOWN AND BATTERY TURNED OFF BEFORE
INSERTING THE SIMCARD.
1: Slide back the sim door and lift it up.
2: Slide the simcard in to the door ensuring that the clipped corner of the simcard lines
up with the clipped corner of the simcard holder.
3: Close the sim door.
4: Slide the sim door to lock the simcard in place.
Connect 9 through to 24 volts DC to the input connector as per figure 1 (page 3). 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 indicating the unit is now
ready for use.
Signal Strength
Signal strength can be checked by sending the text command
#
SIGNAL
#
The unit will reply back with a score from 1 - 30. Anything less than a score of 10 will make
the unit unreliable.
NOTE
- We recommend doing a signal strength on 2G, 3G, and 4G (see diagram page 4) to
see which frequency is strongest and then using the strongest frequency.
NOTE
- If using Giff Gaff simcards please disable balance notifications in your Giff Gaff account
