First Use
Before applying power to the router, connect the components that you required for your
applications. You cannot operate the router without connected antenna, inserted SIM card,
nor connected power supply.
If you do not have connected main antenna during operation of the router, the router can
be damaged!
1. Antenna
Use a SMA connector to connect the antennas to the router. The main antenna is con-
nected to the router by screwing on the ANT connector (see the figure below). A second
diversity antenna can also be connected to the DIV connector to improve performance.
2. SIM card
The SIM card readers, for 3 V and 1.8 V SIM cards, are located on the rear panel of the
router. If you intend to use this device to communicate over a cellular network, please place
an activated data-provisioned SIM card with an unblocked PIN into the SIM card reader. Push
your SIM card into the SIM1 (or SIM2 in case of the SmartStart router SL302 or SL304) slot
until it clicks in place.

Before handling of the SIM card disconnect the router from power supply!
3. Power
The router requires an external DC power supply. The DC voltage required is between
+9 to +36 V DC. The router has built-in protection against reverse polarity without signaling.
Connect the power supply cable to the PWR connector on the front panel of the router (see
figure below).
