Please take proper ESD protection measures (e.g. electrical connection of the body to ground) to make sure you don’t destroy internal electronics! Repair of ESD damages caused by user’s negligence will not be covered by Telic’s warranty. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials normally caused by static electricity.
To speed up the log-in process into the mobile network, the SIM card should contain no or only a few phone book entries. The messages of the SBC3 CAN 4G are transmitted via the mobile network. Therefore you need a standard 3 Volts or 1.8 Volts SIM card.
