Safety precautions
General precautions
The modem generates radio frequency (RF) power. When using the modem care must be taken on safety
issues related to RF interference as well as regulations of RF equipment.
Do not use the modem in an aircraft, hospitals, petrol stations or in places where using GSM products is
prohibited.
Do not operate the modem in areas where blasting is in progress, near medical equipment, near life support
equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the
modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. The modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this kind of
equipment.
Be sure that the modem will not be interfering with nearby equipment. The antenna of the modem should be
away from computers, office equipment, home appliances, etc...
An external antenna must be connected to the modem for proper operation. Only used approved antennas with
the modem. Please contact authorized dealer on finding an approved antenna.
Always keep the antenna with a minimum safety distance of 26.6cm or more from a human body.
Do not put the antenna inside a metallic box, containers, etc.
Using the modem in vehicle
Check for any regulation or law authorizing the use of GSM in a vehicle in your country before installing the
modem.
Install the modem by qualified personnel. Consult your vehicle dealer for any possible interference of electronic
parts by the modem.
The modem should be connected to the vehicle’s supply system by using a fuse-protected terminal in the
vehicle’s fuse box.
Be careful when the modem is powered by the vehicle’s main battery. The battery may be drained after an
extended period.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the modem while in control of the vehicle. Doing so
will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle.
Protecting your modem
To ensure error-free usage, please install and operate your modem with care. Remember the following:
Do not expose the modem to extreme conditions such as high humidity/temperatures, rain, direct sunlight,
caustic/harsh chemicals, dust, or water.
Do not try to disassemble or modify the modem. There is no user serviceable part inside and the warranty
would be void.
Do not drop, hit or shake the modem. Do not use the modem under extreme vibrating condition.
Do not pull the antenna or power supply cable. Please attach or detach by holding the connector.
Connect the modem only according to the instruction manual. Failure to do it will void the warranty.

Hardware installation
4.1 Mounting the modem
If delivered with the DIN clip accessory, detailed on page 29, use two M3 screws to mount the DIN clip on the back
of the modem as shown on figure 4.1.1.
Figure 4.1.1: DIN clip mounted on M100 3G
4.2 Installing the SIM card
Use a ball pen or paper clip to eject the SIM holder by pressing the eject button. Put the SIM card to the tray; make
sure it is completely inserted in the tray, then carefully put back the tray into the slot.
Note: DO NOT pull out the SIM holder without pushing the ejector button.
4.3 Connecting the external antennas (SMA type)
Connect both antennas with SMA male connector on the modem, make sure antennas are tightly secured. Select a
GSM antenna with the right GSM frequency and an impedance of 50; incorrect antenna will affect communication
and even damage the modem. Select a GPS antenna with an impedance of 50; incorrect antenna will affect GPS
sensitivity and time to fix.
Note: Make sure to install GSM and GPS antennas with an angle of at least 90º to avoid disturbance.
