Page 2: Installing A Sim Card
You need a SIM card to receive automatic e-mail and/or FTP reports from your microSpider2 over the phone network. Halytech can provide fully functioning SIM cards for you. Alternatively, you can source your own SIM card by contacting your preferred mobile phone carrier and requesting a SIM card provisioned with a plan enabling internet access. - Page 3 To install a SIM card into the microSpider2 fitted with a SILVER SIM card holder: Remove the metal bar protecting the circuit board by gently lifting it out of the grooves. If connected, disconnect the battery from the circuit board by squeezing the locking latch and gently pulling the connector upwards.
