When Ouflex device starts up, it will automatically detect whether the
modem is connected or not and then initialises modem.
You may give your Ouflex device a device ID. In SMS communication,
always type the device ID in front of the keyword (e.g. OU01 MEA-
SUREMENTS).
Signal strength is expressed with description: ”Excellent”, ”Good”, ”Mod-
erate”, ”Low”, ”Very low” and ”Initialization failed”. If signal strength in-
dicates ”No network,” try changing the modem’s location or use an ad-
ditional antenna. If the signal strength is ”Very low” you should also
move the modem to another location to try to improve signal strength.
If the unit displays ”Initialisation failed,” check that the SIM card is cor-
rectly installed.
