disconnect it. Inserting or removing a SIM card with the device
powered may harm the SIM card and the device.
To install the SIM:
1. Remove the SIM cover from the back of the device. If you
have trouble sliding the SIM cover, use a flat-blade
screwdriver in the slot on the SIM cover to slide it out.
2. Insert the SIM card into the card holder with the gold
contact side facing down as shown.
3. Verify that the SIM card fits into the holder properly and
replace the cover.

Getting Started
1. Insert the USB connector of the MTD into a computer or
similar device. Allow 10 seconds for the device to power up
and establish signal.
2. Open a terminal emulator program in order to communicate
with the device. If Verizon is your carrier, configure the
device for the Verizon network as described in Dual Carrier
Firmware for Cellular Radio.

network provider's Access Point Name (APN) into the
device. To do this, issue:

(where APN_Name is the APN provided by your
network provider)
Your device should now be activated on the carrier’s network and ready
for use. To check operation issue the command: AT+CEREG? The
modem should respond with +CEREG: 0,1 showing registration.
