LTE Cellular (Units Are Carrier Specic):
1. Open the Cellular Gateway by unscrewing the screw on the left side of the front cover with a Phillips screwdriver
and gently pull up on the left side.
2. Insert standard size SIM card (25mm x 15mm) into J4 with the perforated edge rst and the gold contact side facing
downward. Push until you hear it click. If SIM card does not click into place, the wrong size SIM card is being used.
Note: Do NOT use a nano or micro size SIM card with an adapter. The adapter edge can catch and cause
permanent damage.
3. Wait for the LED lights to turn on. Check the SIM LED to make sure it is amber colored. If it is ashing red, check
that the SIM card has been inserted correctly and has an active 4G data/voice plan.
4. A signal strength test is recommended. Check the signal strength by using the built-in network signal strength
scanner. To use the scanner function, turn on SW1 dipswitch 1 to ON (check that dipswitch 4 is also ON). When
nished, turn SW1 dipswitch 1 back to “OFF”.
5. The RUN LED should change color to ashing green when the main power connection is made. If you see any
other color, please consult the LED indication chart below.
