Take the SIM cover down, and use an ejector tool to open the SIM card tray. Insert the nano (4FF) SIM card, then put the slot with the SIM card back into the device. 2. Rotate back the cover and tighten it with a wrench to prevent water from entering the device. 3.2 Power Supply SG50 can be powered by either a 12-24 VDC external supply or a solar panel. In the meantime, the internal battery pack will also be charged. When the external supply is disconnected or there is not enough power for the solar panel, SG50 can be powered by the internal battery pack. Battery Installation 1. Release the fixing screw on the side of the device, and remove the battery compartment cover. 2. Push the battery into the battery compartment as the icon shows. If you need to take out the battery, hold on the latches on the battery to pull it out. 3. Fix the cover back to the device using the fixing screw. 7 Note After installing the battery, the device will not power on automatically. Please connect the power cable of the solar panel to the device to turn it on. When the power cable is disconnected, the device will power off. The device can not be charged when its temperature is more than 50°C. Please avoid direct exposure of the device to sunlight. When the device detects the temperature is lower than 0°C and solar panel power is enough (more than 7W), the device will heat the battery until the temperature reaches to 10°C, then charge the battery if the battery level is not full. The battery should be removed from the device if it will not be used for an extended period. 3.3 Gateway Installation SG50 with solar panel can be mounted either to a wall or pole.
