How to reset the device to factory default?

Fitting Installation
Step 1: Insert the SIM card into the device according to arrows as
follows. If you need to take out the SIM card, press the SIM card and it will
pop up automatically
Note:
UG6x does not support hot plugging (also called hot swapping). Please turn off
the power before you insert or take off cards.
Please tighten the SIM dust cover of UG67 with wrench to prevent water into
the equipment.
Step 2: UG6x supports multiple LoRa antenna types. It’s suggested to use
one external antenna for better Helium network coverage. When installing,
rotate the antenna coaxial cable to one of the connectors (ANT1 is
recommended), then connect the antenna to coaxial cable. When fixing the
antenna, pass the antenna through the clamp and fix with screws, then wrap the
U-bolt around a pole and fix it to clamp with nuts and other accessories.
Step 3: Install the power cable and Ethernet cable accordingly.
UG65: After connecting the Ethernet cable and power cable to
corresponding interfaces, you can pass them through the waterproof silicone
and slide into the grooves. Then screw the protective cover back to the
device.
UG67: Pass the Ethernet cable through the cable gland and rotate the
cable gland to gateway, then tighten the cable gland with wrench.
For DC power supply, remove the protective cap of power connector and rotate theDC power cable into the power connector.
PoE Supply
UG6x can be powered by 802.3af standard PoE injector or other PoE devices.
Please follow the picture to provide power supply via PoE injector:
Hotspot Installation
UG6x can be mounted to a wall or a pole. Before you start, make sure that your SIM card has been inserted, your antennas have been attached and all cables have been installed.
Note: Do not connect device to power supply or other devices when installing.
Step 1: Mounting Bracket Mounted
Wall mounting: Align the mounting bracket horizontally to the desired
position on the wall, use a marker pen to note four mounting holes on the
wall, and then remove the mounting bracket from the wall. Drill four holes
with a depth of 32mm by using your drill with a 6mm drill bit on the positions
you marked previously on the wall and insert four wall plugs into the holes
respectively. Mount the mounting bracket horizontally to the wall by fixing
the wall mounting screws into the wall plugs.
Pole mounting: Straighten out the hose clamp and slide it through the
rectangular rings in the mounting bracket, wrap the hose clamp around the
pole. After that use a screwdriver to tighten the locking mechanism by turning
it clockwise.
Step 2: Hotspot Mounted
Screw the bracket mounting screws behind the device and hang the device to the
mounting bracket via bracket mounting screws on the back of device.
