3.
Power off or disconnect power.
Note:
If you send AT#SHDN and do not remove power, the radio restarts after 60 seconds.
Installing a SIM Card
This model requires a SIM card, which is supplied by your service provider. To install the SIM card:
1.
Locate the SIM card slot on the side of the modem. The slot is labeled SIM.
2.
Slide the SIM card into the SIM card slot with the contact side facing down as shown. When the SIM card
is installed, it locks into place.
Removing a SIM Card
To remove the SIM card, push the SIM card in. The device ejects the SIM card.
Mounting Device to Flat Surface
1.
Locate the groove on the bottom of the device.
2.
Slide the mounting bracket through the groove.
3.
To secure the bracket to the desired surface, place and tighten two screws in the holes on either end of
the mounting bracket. The dimensions illustration in this guide shows the mounting bracket, as well as
the dimensions for placement of the screws.
LTE Antenna Diversity
Antenna diversity uses two receive antennas to improve the downlink connection (cell tower to mobile). It has no
effect on the uplink (mobile to cell tower).
Antenna diversity is useful in environments where the signal arrives at the device after bouncing off or around
buildings or other objects. The bounced signal may be attenuated by going through semi-transparent (to the
signal) objects. Each signal alteration can change its magnitude, phase, orientation, or polarization. This complex
environment can exist in cities, inside buildings or in traffic. In this environment, signal paths from the cell tower
form an interference pattern of peaks and nulls. These peaks and nulls can be very close together.
