Pre-Installation

Unscrew the protective shield over the SIM slots using a Phillips-head screwdriver.
NOTE: This device supports only Nano-SIM cards.
Use the included SIM tool to insert a Nano 4FF SIM card into the appropriate SIM slot.
Reattach the protective shield cover to a torque of 1.2 Nm (0.885 ft/lb).
For ease of carrying during the location survey, attach the installation handle to the back of the device with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
Unscrew the PoE gland cap and insert one end of the installation PoE cable.
NOTE: This is for location survey purposes only. You will install the permanent PoE cable later. Set aside the bushing and cap.
Insert the other end of the cable into the PoE injector Data & Power Out port. Plug the PoE injector into an earthed AC outlet.
