SIM Card and Card Holder
Standard 3 V SIM cards may be used with the Arctic EDGE Router. A SIM card holder is located on
the back panel near the GPRS antenna connector. If you have the PIN code query enabled, first
check that the Arctic Configurator has a correct PIN code entered in the GPRS submenu. To operate
with SIM card follow the procedure below:
1. Power off the Arctic.
2. The SIM card holder contains a tray with a yellow eject button. Push this button in order to
eject the tray from the holder.
3. Put the SIM card onto the tray.
4. Insert the tray carefully back to the holder and press the tray until it is locked.
The card should only be inserted or removed while the GSM module has been placed in shutdown
mode. The SIM card holder has a card detection circuit that will in theory allow hot insertion
and removal of the card. However, hot insertion and removal are not recommended, since the
SIM card content may be corrupted if the card is removed while the GSM module is writing
data to it.
