1.2.4.3 Situating the Teldat-3Ge
The orientation of the Teldat-3Ge and its location with respect to other wireless devices or radiation sources (such
as communication devices, personal computers, etc.) can influence significantly the device’s performance.
The Teldat-3Ge transmits and receives radio signals. Performance is also affected by environmental factors (such
as the distance between the device and the base station), physical obstacles and other interferences due to radiofre-
quencies (RF).
To achieve the best coverage, follow these steps:
• Whenever possible, place the Teldat-3Ge where there are no physical obstacles. Obstacles between the Teldat-
3Ge and the base station degrade the RF signal. Place the device above ground level and steer it towards the
nearest base station.
• The density of materials also affects the Teldat-3Ge . Place it away from any type of wall, metal screens, mirrors,
etc.
• Do not place the device near columns that may throw shadows and reduce the coverage area.
• Keep the Teldat-3Ge away from metal pipes such as canals, air-conditioning, etc.
• Please bear in mind that other wireless devices (such as telephones, microwaves, etc.) can temporarily interfere
with the quality of the radio signal.
• We do not recommend that you install antennas in racks containing communication devices, computers, etc. Use
an extension cable and place the antenna outside.
The following recommendations are applicable to all wireless devices:
• Do not touch or move the antenna while the device is transmitting or receiving.
• Do not handle any equipment that contains devices which radiate where the antenna is very close to, or touching,
any exposed part of the body (particularly the face and eyes).
• Do not install the device in areas where the atmosphere is potentially explosive.
• Wireless devices can cause interferences with other devices. Do not use the device in areas where medical equip-
ment is installed.
• To ensure compliance with Directive R&TTE 1999/5/EC, the device must be at least 15 cm away from a person’s
body when it is operating.
1.3 Installing the SIM card
The Teldat-3Ge WWAN interface needs a SIM card to operate. The device is equipped with an external SIM card
tray.
Warning
When inserting the SIM card, please protect yourself against electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Do not touch the SIM card connector.
Fig. 10: Rear Panel
Procedure:
• Place the device as shown in the above figure so you can see the tray slot.
• Insert the SIM card by placing it on the tray.
