Slide the SIM card holder downward, lift the holder into an upright position and slide the SIM card into the holder. Make sure the SIM card’s gold contacts face into the device and the angled corner of the card is positioned correctly (as shown in the picture on the left). Set back down the SIM card holder and slide it upwards to secure it (the SIM card should be lying flat on the device).
Make sure the inside of the device is clear of any dust and dirt, specially the grey area shown, to ensure the water-tightness of the device.
Insert the battery back into the device so that the battery contacts align and the battery label faces into the device. Then slide the battery cover back into place and screw it shut. Do not over tighten.

NOTE! Pressing the Power button for longer than 7 seconds, will restart the device. This should only be used if the device is unresponsive.

We recommend getting a nano SIM-card which has the PIN lock feature deactivated. If it is activated, you will need to insert your PIN when turning on the device by scrolling through the numbers using the up and down arrow buttons, and confirming by pressing the right arrow button. Once you have inserted your complete PIN number, press the right arrow button for 3 seconds to confirm.

Home screen

From your Kepler’s home screen you can see and do several things.

Device status
At the top, the icons indicate the status of your device (battery, connectivity etc.) Go back to page 4 to learn more about what each icon means.
Push-to-Talk and communicating with talk groups
From the middle of the home screen, you can see what talk group will be contacted if you press the PTT1 or PTT2 button. These talk groups are created and managed through the PTT application being used. When using AINA Small Talk, the talk groups and its members can be modified through the AINA Admin Console.
Push-to-Talk. Press the PTT1 or PTT2 button and keep it pressed to contact the corresponding talk group. Release the button when you are done talking. The Kepler’s display will indicate when you are talking or receiving a message from a talk group.
Changing talk group. If you are part of more than one talk group, you can scroll through the available groups by pressing the left or right arrow button on your device. A quick press will change the PTT1 group and a long press (~3 seconds) will change the PTT2 group.
DMO
Direct Mode Operation (DMO) is a feature that allows for off-network communication. With DMO, the message sent off the network will bounce once from a nearby Kepler to the next.
If your administrator has enabled DMO for your device, you will see this on your device’s home screen as a talk group.
DMO Push-to-Talk. Press the assigned PTT1 or PTT2 button and keep it pressed to contact nearby members through DMO. Release the button when you are done talking. The Kepler’s display will indicate when you are talking or receiving a message through DMO.
