Hardware setup

To install SIM cards:

1. On the TX54 front panel, use a Philips screwdriver to remove the SIM slot cover.

2. For high-vibration environments, apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the SIM contacts.

If the TX54 device is used in an environment with high vibration levels, SIM card contact

fretting may cause unexpected SIM card failures. To protect the SIM cards, Digi strongly

recommends that you apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the SIM contacts prior to

installing the SIM cards.

3. Insert the SIM card(s) into the SIM sockets in the positions shown on the SIM gasket:

Single cellular models:

Dual cellular models:

4. After all SIM cards are in place, replace the SIM slot cover.

If the signal strength LEDs or the signal quality for your device indicate Poor or No service, try the

following things to improve signal strength:

Move the device to another location.

Try connecting a different set of antennas, if available.
