3.3 Installation
3.3.1 SIM/UIM Card
TD210 supports normal SIM/UIM only, so if you’re using a Micro SIM or Nano SIM card,
you may need to use a Micro SIM or Nano SIM to Normal SIM adapter.
Make sure your IP Modem is powered off, then use a needle object(such as a pen) to
push the button near the SIM/UIM card holder, it will flick out immediately. Put the
SIM/UIM card to card holder with chipset upside, insert it to IP Modem and make sure it’s
tightly matched.
Warning: Never install SIM/UIM card when Modem is powered on.
3.2.2 Cellular Antenna
Fasten the cellular antenna.
Screw the SMA male cellular antenna to TD210 (SMA female interface), make sure it is
screwed tightly to ensure the strength of signal.
