Location considerations

The following includes best practice considerations for identifying a mounting location:
Ensure the router is positioned to receive optimal signal. A location on the trunk/boot or roof of the vehicle is
recommended.
Note: Cradlepoint recommends selecting a flat section on the exterior of the vehicle to ensure the best adhesion
and prevent leaks.
Avoid installing the device in enclosed spaces.
Ensure that the heat sink pads are in full contact with the metal of the vehicle exterior to help dissipate heat.
Extreme heat or cold can reduce the router's performance.
Mount in locations compliant with the Safety, Regulatory, and Warranty guide, included in the product shipping
box.
 
SIM card for wireless connectivity
A wireless broadband data plan must be added to the router for wireless broadband connectivity. Network providers
must provision a SIM card to provide wireless broadband data plans compatible for use with the router. Contact your
network provider for further details.
