Gently push the new SIM card into SIM card holder face up with the cut corner to the right and the SIM contacts facing toward the Conduit’s interior. If not installing a battery or micro SD card, reattach the MultiTech nameplate to the Conduit using the screw removed in Step 2.
SETTING UP AND CONFIGURING THE DEVICE Accessory Port (mCard) Interfaces The accessory card interface on the Conduit base board has the following interface options: Interface Description Used by all accessory cards. I2C is required for Electronic Identification (EID) support on the accessory card but can be used for other I2C devices.
Disconnect power to the Conduit, if it is connected. At the front of the Conduit, remove the screw that secures the MultiTech nameplate. Locate the SD card at the left side of the opening on the underside of the PC board.
To install or replace the battery: If connected, disconnect power to the Conduit. At the front of the Conduit housing, remove the screw that secures the MultiTech nameplate to the housing. The battery holder is located at the right side of the opening on the underside of the PC board. To remove an existing battery, use non-metal tweezers as necessary.
To connect the debug cable: Disconnect power to the Conduit, if it is connected. At the front of the Conduit housing, remove the screw that secures the MultiTech nameplate to the housing. Locate the USB debug cable connector in the center of the opening.
SETTING UP AND CONFIGURING THE DEVICE Restoring User Defined Settings You need: A pin, paperclip, or similar thin object that can fit into the reset hole. To restore user defined settings for an AEP device: Locate the hole in the panel labeled RESET. The reset button is recessed into the housing. Use the pin to press in the button for between 3 to 29 seconds, then release the reset button.
To power up the device: Install the desired MultiTech accessory card or cards into the slots at the back of the device. Refer to the appropriate installation documentation for the accessory card. Connect the power cord to an outlet or power strip and to the power adapter.
