Install optional modules or user-supplied SIM.
Ensure the station is powered off (unplug charging device and
then disconnect the battery). Insert optional RXMOD-x analog,
relay, water level sensor, or RXW Manager modules into the
Module 1 or 2 slot by plugging the connector into the receptacle
on the station. Screw the module in place with the provided
screw. If there is just one relay module, install it on the right.
If you installed an RXW Manager module, plug the cable from the
RXW Manager mote into the jack on the module, making sure the
cable is inserted through the upper cable access opening on the
bottom of the station case. Do not reconnect the power on the
station until the mote is plugged in as shown.
WARNING: If you inadvertently install modules while the power
is on, you must disconnect and then reconnect the battery and
charging device to guarantee proper operation.
