Account Activation for Cellular Devices

Some MultiTech devices are pre-configured to operate on a specific cellular network. To use the device, you must
set up a cellular data account with your service provider. Each service provider has its own process for adding
devices to their network. To find activation steps for your device:
1. Go to http://www.multitech.com/support.
2. Select your device.
3. Scroll to Activation and click Download.

Notice for Devices that Use Aeris Radios

One component of your device is a radio. A radio algorithm prevents your device from repeatedly attempting to
connect to the network when the radio:
Cannot establish a packet data connection or
Fails to access the application server.
When writing applications for your devices, ensure that your applications do not interfere with the radio's
connection retry algorithm. If you fail to do so, Aeris might block network access for your devices.
After your devices reach the end of their commercial lifespan, you must remove them from the Aeris network. To
do so, remove power from the devices and remove their antennas. If your devices continue to attempt to register
with the network after you cancel device subscriptions, Aeris can bill you for any traffic generated by those
devices.
