8. FAQ
8.1 Equipment Non-online
(1) Inspecting the equipment signal light, it shows general server connection normal when green GSM signal
light keep on; It shows SIM card loose or no connection with server when this light flash every 1 second, and
it can be tried to shutdown and install the SIM card again.
(2) Please try to dial SIM card number if the SIM card possesses phone call function. And it will be call
through automatically in general; It can be tried to shutdown and install the SIM card again when it prompts
