Need to make sim card chip outside, like picture.
And reverse SIM tray, make it face down(SIM will be WIS), check picture.
Can screw the sheet to cover SIM card for safety issue.

1.7 Antenna Connection
Suggest to connect all antennas to get better signal and make router working better, also suggest
to place cellular antennas to something icon, such as router box. Must connect ANT-1 for sim
card internet.
Note: It must to connect ANT-1 if using SIM card internet.
1.8 Power Cable Connection
Power cable has two cables, one cable is black with white, this is power pin, need to connect to
left of power terminal; another cable is black with words, this is GND pin, need to connect to
right of power terminal.
Suggest to use standard power adapter provided to power F-G100, to provide a stable power
environment. Also can use 9~36VDC power to power it directly. Please make sure ripple is not
more than 300mV and instantaneous voltage is not more than 36VDC if using 9~36VDC power.
