CONNECTING THE SIM CARD

GET STARTED SCANNING A SIGNAL WITH ETM 770

1. Insert SIM card as shown in the picture above.

2. Insert the charger into the mini-USB connector. The battery is charged with 5V.

3. To turn the device on, press the power button for a minimum of 3 seconds. When the device is turned on and the charger is successfully connected, the screen shall look as follows:
   The battery is almost fully charged. The network connection is 8/10 bars. We are connected to a 4G network with the frequency 2600 MHz R means that the device is logged into the home network.

4. Put on the chosen antenna.

5. The device will automatically scan the network signal once turning it on. If not, find your way to the main menu by pressing the up button several times. Once pressing “Signal Scanning” you will be redirected to the second menu. Press “Scan Signal”.

6. Validate your result. The pictures below show a typical scan for a 2G, 3G, and 4G connection.

7. By pressing the up button, you will jump to the next menu. If you press the up button multiple times you will finial enter the main menu.

8. By pressing the down button multiple times, you will rotate back to the first row in the present menu.
