When you install your own SIM card, you must adapt the LTE APN settings so the modem can register in the mobile network.

Prepare your SIM card

  • Disable the SIM PIN before inserting the SIM card into the LTE stick.
  • Enable roaming if the system will be used outside your domestic network.

Remove the LTE stick and SIM

  2. Open the device cover, then unplug the LTE stick from the USB port.
  3. Slide the LTE stick cover downward to remove it.
  4. Eject the existing SIM card (if any) and insert your new micro- or nano-SIM card into the dedicated slot.

  2. Disconnect the PC from any other network by disabling Wi-Fi and unplugging any network cable.
