QUICK START GUIDE
1. Install the Antenna
Magnetic / Self-Adhesive Mount
Remove the spigot mount and
attach the magnetic mount with the
four screws. Clean the location.
If using magnetic, simply place the
antenna on the roof. For self-
adhesive mount, use the double
sided foam pad and firmly apply the
antenna to the roof.
Through the Roof / Spigot Mount
Mount the antenna at least 50cm
from heat sources and ensure you
have access on the inside where the
cable will come through the roof.
The kit includes two depths of
spigot, 10mm and 50mm.
Use the drill template to mark the
location. Use tape to prevent the
drill from slipping. Clean the area.
Use a 20mm drill bit or hole cutter to
drill through the roof. Apply the
self-adhesive foam ring to the roof.
Slide the cable through the hole.
Firmly press the antenna down onto
the self-adhesive pad.
From the inside, slide the threaded
nut over the wire and onto the
spigot mount and tighten well.
3. Install the Router
Gently open the back cover pulling it
away from the bottom left corner.
Pull out the battery, and then insert
your nano sized SIM card into the
silver SIM card slot as above. The
SIM card should be face down, with
the gold connectors downwards and
the notch as shown above.
