Recommendations from other RF device manufacturers should be followed when this product is installed in the vicinity of other RF devices.

Handling Precautions
Although the device is designed to protect against anti-static discharge from handling, users should follow general anti-static precautions when handling the device.

Hardware Setup

1. Connect ETH Cable between your network and gateway device
2. Connect LoRa Antenna
3. Connect Cellular CAT-M antenna
4. [Optional] connect GPS antenna
5. Connect Power supply

Refer to mechanical drawing for location of connection ports.
Cellular SIM card A SIM card is built into the device. Activation of SIM card should be coordinated with Signetik.
