1.
Remove the SIM cover located on top of the A3LA-I Iridium modem by unscrewing two hex bolts.
2.
Under the SIM cover is an integrated SIM Chip Reader. The modem uses and requires an Iridium
SIM chip for operation. It can be purchased from any of the authorized Iridium Service Providers
listed on the Iridium webpage (
www.iridium.com
). The SIM chip should be detached from the full-
size SIM card as shown in picture below.
3.
Slide the SIM Chip Reader’s plastic bracket in the direction indicated by the arrow and lift up the
bracket. Place the SIM chip (facing down) into the SIM bracket as shown in picture below. There is a
small cut-off on one of the corners of the SIM chip. Make sure that the cut-off is pointing upward
which should align the SIM chip with the SIM Chip Reader. Lower the bracket and lock the SIM
bracket by sliding in the reverse direction.
